Rockin' Around Louisiana - This program focuses on the history of music in Louisiana, and the special cultural significance that music plays in our daily lives here. A wide range of songs is employed, from jazz to blues to rock and roll and rhythm and blues, in order for the students to learn about the variety of styles and personalities involved in Louisiana music. Also, participation is once again encouraged, as the artist brings with him a number of different percussion instruments for the children to play along with. This gives the students hands-on experience in music, a necessity for understanding the physical aspects of music that are particular to its performance and understanding.
