About The Show
The 'Discovering Musical Instruments' show is presented by Rod & Keryn Christensen from Christensen's Music & Learning. Rod is a multi-talented musician, singer and song writer who has combined all his musical skills to present this totally unique children show.
The show is based on 10 original songs written by Rod, each song highlighting a popular musical instrument. The instruments include Saxophone (Soprano, Alto & Tenor), Clarinet, Flute, Trumpet, Trombone, Violin, Keyboard, Guitar, Bass Guitar and Drums. At a show Rod performs each song by singing and playing the feature instrument, and in a way that gives children a captivating and educational musical experience.
This interactive show involves children in many of the show songs with dancing, playing shakers, and singing along on easy vocal lines. Keryn performs backing vocals and assists with children involvement and stage management. Rod performs the songs to his own high quality pre-recorded accompaniment. Rod and Keryn are both blue card holders for working with children.
