Moon Radio Hour

Playing with the unexpected

Go where no one has gone before with the intrepid members of Moon Radio Hour.

Moon Radio Hour takes students on an imaginative fast-paced journey through space, time and the unexpected! Paired with saxophones, guitars and an electronic sampler, the result is a spontaneously immersive musical experience where anything is possible.

Students will be shown how to create their own short musical skits in the classroom, explore structure and form in music, and use graphic notation to tell stories and shape musical ideas. Energetic, humorous and inventive, Moon Radio Hour celebrates curiosity and allows students to embrace the unexpected that lies within their own creativity.
