Performing since the age of 14, and with several different bands including At Wits End, Crown Victoria and Volare, John Henry values the educational experience to be gained from exposure to live music. “Music allows children to process information in a new way. They hear sounds, they feel rhythm and they are able to actively participate in the learning process. Music can also be a wonderful introduction to other cultures. With songs and instruments children are able to appreciate different cultures and become familiar with new ideas from a musical perspective.”
