JUNK 2 FUNK (J2F) is an exciting program (grades K – 8) that blends the disciplines of science, technology, language arts, pop culture, music, performance art and environmental stewardship through fun, rewarding and often life-changing experiences while incorporating many core curriculum standards in the process. Proven to bring out the best in youth, J2F is a sensational outlet for students’ creativity, physical energy and individual expression. With an emphasis on making music using instruments made from found objects, Jeff leads participants down a path of self-exploration that encourages them to take healthy risks and work together as a team to prepare a rhythmic extravaganza to be performed for an assembled audience.
