A Musical Treat for the Whole Family

Bernardsville Public Library is pleased to present an exciting and lively musical songfest, “Splishin’ and a Splashin’ with Nemo!” with entertainer/educator Jeanne DePodwin, on Monday, July 25 at 7:00 pm. This interactive songfest is will delight families with children ages three through ten.

Accompanied by her 12-string guitar, a multitude of colorful rhythm instruments and her puppet, Petey, this 45-minute musical adventure invites children to become music-makers and detectives. Children will try to find Nemo…could he be hiding in the swamp, splashing in the bathtub, or even under the waterfall? Singing, clapping, dancing, music making—all are sure to please audiences! Children will revel in the thrill of keeping the beat on dozens of rhythm instruments from countries around the world.

For over 15 years, Jeanne DePodwin, a gifted and enthusiastic performer, has been bringing her top-rate, engaging performances to children and families at libraries, schools, camps and folk festivals throughout New Jersey. She inspires groups of all ages to sing and celebrate music. As a music educator and founder of Little Music Makers, a music program for young children (ages 6 months to 5 years) based in Basking Ridge, she brings her magic of music to young children and families on an ongoing weekly basis.

Part of the library’s summer reading club, One World, Many Stories, this program is funded by the Friends of the Bernardsville Public Library and is free and open to all. Advance registration is required at http://www.bernardsvillelibrary.org/. Follow the link under Kid Stuff or call the library at 908-766-0118 to sign up.
