Conference Organizers: I would look forward to providing for your conference an upbeat, highly interactive music and poetry workshop or keynote address.
As a former elementary educator of twelve years with a Masters Degree in Educational Technology and as an author and widely published poet and an award winning songwriter, I am happy to present on any of the following topics.
* Keynote music presentations (a high-participation keynote alternative!)
* Inviting poetry into the classroom
* Inviting music into the classroom
* Using music and poetry to encourage literacy
* Encouraging creativity and expression in the writing process
* Using fingerplays and movement activities with young children

"Eric Ode energized the teachers at the Southwest VA Early Childhood Conference! His keynote was well received and his music was very much appreciated by the early childhood teachers.
Eric is a great professional to work with when coordinating a conference. He is very helpful and accommodating. He does a powerful presentation! Teachers love his music!"
