"Adam Miller took our children back in time in a way that made history real. He is masterful at balancing a fun, engaging assembly that exposes the children to folk music with a history lesson on the United States."
-Raymond Dawley, Principal, Fair Oaks Elementary, Redwood City, California

Dear Washington Educator,

I'll be presenting school assemblies in Washington: January 13 - 17, 2014.

For over two decades I have presented multi-cultural "Singing Through History!" folk music assemblies and classroom programs at schools and libraries across the United States.

These highly entertaining and educational programs aid in the development of cultural and historical literacy, emphasizing the importance of history as a story well told. Students have a great time learning about American folklore and folk traditions while singing along.

All programs are designed to encourage group singing and interactivity, and are tailored to be age appropriate for any combination of grades. I have programs for elementary schools, middle schools and high schools, as well.

For more about information, please visit my website:

Folksinging.org

With over a dozen entertaining assembly programs, I can easily perform two different 45-60 minute assemblies in a back-to-back booking.

My fee is $695 for one assembly, $795 for two back-to-back assemblies, and $995 for three (in one location). There are no additional fees!

Please contact me to schedule assemblies at your school. I look forward to singing with you and your students!
