Bach’s Kids

Curriculum Connections: Music, Social Studies, STEM

Bach had 20 kids, and still managed to write over 1000 pieces of music. He must have been very busy! This program introduces Bach’s cello music, and discusses how his active home life influenced his musical compositions. Participants will hear songs by Bad Bunny, AC/DC, and James Brown, and we’ll learn how all great music is put together the same way. Along the way, Nat Chaitkin of Bach and Boombox will share stories about playing at the White House.
