A Musical Treat for the Whole Family

Bernardsville Public Library will be the site of an exciting and lively musical songfest, “Splishin’ and a Splashin’ with Nemo!” with entertainer/educator Jeanne DePodwin, on Monday, July 25 at 7 p.m. 

This interactive songfest will delight families with children ages 3-10.

Accompanied by her 12-string guitar, a multitude of colorful rhythm instruments and her puppet, Petey, DePodwin  invites children to become music-makers and detectives during this 45-minute musical adventure. Children will try to find Nemo – could he be hiding in the swamp, splashing in the bathtub, or even under the waterfall?  Singing, clapping, dancing, music making – all are sure to please the audience!  Children will enjoy keeping the beat on dozens of rhythm instruments from countries around the world.

For more than 15 years, DePodwin, a gifted and enthusiastic performer, has been bringing her top-rate, engaging performances to children and families at libraries, schools, camps and folk festivals throughout New Jersey. She inspires groups of all ages to sing and celebrate music.  

As a music educator and founder of Little Music Makers, a music program for young children (ages 6 months to 5 years) based in Basking Ridge, she brings the magic of music to young children and families on an ongoing weekly basis. 

Part of the library’s summer reading club, “One World, Many Stories,” this program is funded by the Friends of the Bernardsville Public Library and is free and open to all.  Advance registration is required at www.bernardsvillelibrary.org.  Follow the link under Kid Stuff or call the library at 908-766-0118 to sign up.
