MUSIC WITH JAMES is my music program for children. I sing and play a mixture of popular and original songs, accompanying myself on guitar, piano and harmonica. For the children's concerts and parties, I mix the traditional kids songs with selections from the Beatles, Broadway, and my own "Saturday" CD. I also play french horn, trumpet, trombone, accordian, violin, viola and cello; I bring one or more of these instruments to the children's events to demonstrate! I also bring puppets and colorful parachute.
I have also played piano and performed as a singer/guitarist at numerous Corporate events and concerts in NYC.
