Mr. Scott The Music Man

Mr. Scott ‘The Music Man’ is a high energy, very wacky, warm hearted music and movement composer/performer Mr. Scott ‘The Music Man’ delivers a uniquely creative and energetic, interactive concert experience for children and their families. His multi-faceted show is guided by his improvisational spirit and features his own brand of zany singing, physical movements, coupled with his very dynamic original music. His fans come to his shows wearing tie dye, which is Mr. Scott’s signature attire from head to toe - yes, even his socks too! His audience stands up and interacts with Mr. Scott ‘The Music Man’ as he takes them through a series of wacky movements, facial expressions and sound effects always accompanied by his hip, movin’ and groovin’ creative music. He incorporates various styles inspired by music from all over the world and changes the rhythm,tempo and dynamics constantly in order to properly teach the basic building blocks of music to his young audience. A typical Mr. Scott ‘The Music Man performance consists of high energy, whole body movements, combined with more fixed body movements. His audience stands most of the time, but he also has his audience sit now and then for an always humorous finger play or call and answer tune. Sitting is rare, because Mr. Scott ‘The Music Man’s motto is defintely “NO COUCH POTATOES”!! “My goal is to teach children to love all kinds of music in combination with a love for physical fitness. The message is simply that exercise is fun when music is a part of it and regular exercise keeps us all healthy,happy and confident in our daily lives” PERFORMANCE/TEACHING Experience - EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC and MOVEMENT (ECMM): libraries, school assemblies,HOSPITALS,festivals,FAIRS,private parties 2003 - present PRIVATE & MUNICIPAL PRESCHOOLS Throughtout NJ and surrounding area 2003 - PRESENT Monmouth CouNty,NJ HEADSTART MUSIC & MOVEMENT TEACHER 2001 - 2003 SPRING LAKE,NJ COMMUNITY CENTER 2000 - 2001 Home Studio CLASSES MUSIC & MOVEMENT TEACHER 1999 - 2001 AS AN ECMM PRESENTER FOR TEACHERS AND OTHER EDUCATORS: NAEYC national conference,washigton dc - november 19, 2009 NAEYC NATIONAL CONFERENCE,dallas tx - november 8, 2008 NjAEYC state conference,atlantic city nj - october 24, 2009 NjAEYC state conference,atlantic city nj - october 24, 2008 NAEYC ocean county nj affiliate fall meeting - october 15, 2009 10/15/09 NAEYC OCEAN COUNTY NJ affiliate FAll meeting - october, 2008 NAEYC OCEAn COUNTY NJ AFFILiate WINTER MEETING — february, 2008 MEMBERSHIPS: Proud member of naeyc (national Association for the education of young children) Proud member of ACNJ (Association for children of new jersey) Proud member of holiday express (non-profit performance group) www.HolidayExpress.org MUSICAL BACKGROUND: drummer/percussionist with cabaret for life (non-profit) 1998 - present Private piano and drumset instructor 1998 - 2004 Musikgarten Certified teacher 1999 - 2001 toured europe as keyboard player while active duty with us air force 1998 studied drumset with gary dates 1997 - 2000 studied piano with grace monaco 1974 - 1984 studied drumset with ronnie mileaux 1980 - 1982 Loves to make children smile and laugh, Laughs at guys that try to hang onto their last 3 hairs,and less than 2 years away from a AARP membership
