Music Connection’s Elementary School program is entertainment at its best!

Music Connection strives to provide a positive influence on children with student involvement, “appropriate” clean music, dancing and a lot of fun!

· Disc Jockey Involvement – We demonstrate dances and encourage the students to join in and have fun. We observe how the kids are responding to the music and keep things moving along.

· Audience Participation --- Students are invited to participate in the
Cha Cha Slide, Electric Slide, Macarena, Chicken Dance, Hokey Pokey, Twist and Shout, The Train, Stayin’ Alive, YMCA, plus many more.

· Contests for All --- Students enjoy participating in contests! We provide Hula-hoop, Limbo, Twist, Dance, and Trivia contests to name a few.

· Prize Giveaways --- Music Connection sponsors prize giveaways at every event. The kids love to win prizes for their participation.

· Best Variety of Music --- We carefully select music for the appropriate age groups. We play “clean” music that children know and love to hear. We mix in the latest hits as well as play music for theme events such as Sock Hops, Beach Parties, Hawaiian Luau’s, Halloween events and music from all eras.

Here is what some PTA members and school principals have to say about Music Connection…

“The name Music Connection matches perfectly with what Jim Rio has done each time he has visited our school. Jim has a gift for connecting with our students through the music and the several entertaining activities that are part of his program. He is so skilled at getting everyone involved in the dances and contests. The music he selects is very popular with our students, yet age appropriate and positive. I encourage you to get connected with Music Connection!

Dave Vale – Principal
Brook Park Memorial Elementary – Berea City School District

“Jim Rio and the Music Connection staff have done an outstanding job of involving the students K-8 at various functions at our school. They involve the students - which we feel is important – and play appropriate music. Both the students and chaperones enjoy the event. I give Jim Rio and Music Connection my strongest recommendation. “

”Music Connection is an excellent program for students of all ages! Our organization has used Music Connection for 4 yrs. and it keeps getting better. The students love the contests, DJ involvement, and prizes. We will continue to use Music Connection for many years to come.”

“ Jim Rio and Music Connection are by far the highlight of our reward assemblies here at Albion. Jim knows how to get ALL students involved and the students love him! Not only does he play great music that the kids enjoy, the activities and contests always get the kids excited. I know that when we are thinking about a way to reward our students for their hard work or good behavior or if the PTA is looking for an afternoon social event, Music Connection is the place we call!

“We have used Music Connection for Red Ribbon Week, Family Fun Night, and a reward assembly. They do a great job getting students of all ages involved with contests, prizes, and a lot of fun. Parents also become involved which makes it a wonderful child/parent activity at our school. We plan to use Music Connection for many years to come and you won’t be disappointed.
