When you put bells and whistles on a washboard, it’s called a wizbang. That’s just what musician Jen Forti did- made herself a wizbang and transformed into professional wizbanger, Jenny Wizbang.
Jenny’s Whirlwind of Sing-a-Longs and Sound-a-Longs is a deep grab bag of classic, contemporary and original kids songs. The show goes beyond entertainment and invites kids to explore their relationship to music and each other. Using a combination of engaging songs and activities, audiences collaborate with Jenny and each other, singing, making rhythms, and sound effects to discover their creative voice and work in harmony with each other. This performance is designed for small audiences of up to 30 students.
