Jonathan Sprout's American Heroes series of four concerts inspire children with music, visuals, and stories about some of America's most exemplary citizens.
Incorporating original songs from his award-winning albums, Jonathan brings history to life as he conveys the importance of the virtues that make ordinary people extraordinary.
Honesty, respect, responsibility, compassion, self-discipline, perseverance, and generosity are central themes in these dynamic songs that feature remarkable men and women.
This program is a great addition to Social Studies curriculum. It can also enhance your Language Arts curriculum, as Jonathan’s songs are mini-biographies set to music. The Heroes stories can be used to encourage students to write a mini-biography of someone they admire.
