Randy answers Frequently Asked Questions

The great thing about my programs is that I am flexible and able to focus on the best fit for your school or conference. Whether one day, a week, or educational consulting throughout your school year, I work to customize my program for your organization’s benefit.

1. What do teachers need to do to prepare for a school visit?
Depending on the type of program format that is requested, students bring poems or creative writings that they have written prior to the program. The poems/writings can be written individually, in groups or as an entire class. I create songs using the writings and original music that I sing with the students' lyrics. There is no need to send me the words prior to my visit since I create the songs on the spot with the students participating.

Keep in mind that the poems/creative writings do not have to rhyme. The length can be four to eight lines or more. The writings can cover what is already part of the classroom curriculum or can follow a theme such as Character Counts or Earth Day. My program is very impromptu and encourages everyone's participation!

 

2. Is there an age limit for your programs?
Another plus to my programs is that I can work with all ages from early childhood to adults. I encourage all classes to attend my programs.

 

3. What types of programs do you present?
I am able to present a wide-variety of programs or themes. My program is not a music or theory class. Do I use music? Yes, very much so but in conjunction with language arts to encourage students to write and read. Some examples of different areas that I cover are:

  • Learning through Lyrical Literacy
  • Operation Never Alone
  • Be a Friend to the Planet
  • Drug-Free Education
  • Character Counts
  • Professional Development

4. How long are the sessions?
The sessions usually average about 40 minutes with approximately six to eight sessions per day again depending upon your group’s needs.

 

5. Where do you set up for the programs?
Since I have equipment to set up, the classes visit me in a multi-purpose room or auditorium. If I am presenting a school-wide convocation or family night then I set up in the room that accommodates the crowd.
