Eric Herman Music Show

Age Range: K-6

Eric Herman's musical assemblies are bursting with comedy, creativity, interactive songs, nonstop participation and rollicking fun. His teaching philosophy is that if you can get kids to listen, then you can get them to learn.

With Eric's style of humor and his ability to convey important concepts in both powerful and entertaining ways, he could do an assembly about filling out income tax forms that would be easy for kids to grasp and leave them wanting more. So imagine how much better it is that his assemblies are about really cool stuff like creative thinking and living a positive and healthy life!

Say Yes to Life

SAY "YES!!!!" TO LIFE is a terrific musical and motivational program. Eric starts off with an idea that we are all familiar with, "you are what you eat", and expands on that to show how we also are what we do, say and think. Ultimately, we are what we choose, and Eric encourages students to do the best they can, think positively, have goals and perseverance, eat healthy and exercise, and to be kind to others. Say "Yes!!!!" to Life is a great "Character Counts" or PBIS program, and includes many aspects of living well such as good health, bravery, responsibility, treating others with respect, and using your time wisely.

Thinking Outside the box

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX includes many fun songs, interactive segments, puzzles and trick questions that encourage kids to think and discover ideas in new ways. Eric teaches creative thinking and problem solving concepts such as brainstorming, expecting the unexpected, perseverance, asking "What if...?" and the idea that there is more than one way to skin a potato (no potatoes will be harmed during this program). Kids have different interests and aptitudes, and this program helps them to use their own inspiration and creativity in whatever ways they choose to or need to throughout their lives.
