Schools
Like David’s corporate events, these K-12 presentations teach age-appropriate cognitive psychology skills using the harmonica as a teaching tool. When his time and travel restrictions permit, David enjoys teaching these in person. He sometimes works with up to 1000 children in one day!
Lessons for groups of any age can also be presented by an interested parent, teacher, or older child, using the appropriate books, videos, and tapes or CDs.
To learn more about David's use of the harmonica for teaching psychological skills in school settings, you might like to view this article, which discusses peer pressure, drug and alcohol awareness, violence prevention, and other applications.
David's newest school program is an age-appropriate adaptation of his successful adult program, Blow My Blues Away! The school version uses much of the material described in the article of the previous paragraph, but is aimed at helping children to deal with the fears and angers of our post 9/11 reality.
