About

Hello, my name is Benjamin Gauthier, but everyone calls me BenJammin. I am a graduate of Western Michigan University. As part of my K-8 teaching certification, I wrote songs to help kids learn about health, hygiene, self-confidence, community building, and core subjects through interactive music. These became the core of my program. When we connect knowledge with interactive music, we learn even quicker, and it's so much more fun! Together, we use hand drums, guitar, ukulele, piano, drumsticks, stories and puppets to teach children life skills through audience participation and song.

Additional booking notes

For performances we to have the stage space for, please have the space available minimum 30mins before the performance for setup. We always have our own sound systems, but we are always appreciative of a sound person (but totally ok without). For larger venues, 300+, a sound person should be provided. Whenever safely possible, the stage should be accessible to all kids as children are regularly invited onto the stage.
