Having noticed that the budding youth of America experience jaw-dropping paralysis at his shows, Saxman Slim has developed a short program for preschool children.
Slim makes quite a first impression with his hat and glasses getup in front of a silver, sparkly curtain.The children expect a magic show and get one when all that music comes out of a shiny horn with buttons. After a brief demonstration of the operation of the saxophone, kids hands shoot up to answer TV Theme trivia. Plenty of dancing ensues with the Freeze Dance, the Chicken Dance, and the Bunny Hop. Slim also roams the room asking questions to give the kids get a chance to talk into the microphone. Rhythm instruments, hats and glasses are then passed out so the kids can play along with the music while dancing. The show is also appropriate for school-aged children attending during vacations.
Saxman Slim's educational performance:
demonstrates that people make music, not just electronics
plants a seed in the child's mind to later take instrument lessons
reinforces the teacher's music sessions
presents a skill acquired by hard work and discipline
