Creature Teachers - TOUR Booking Now
Hey, I'm Amy a Christian Children's Music Artist. My Creature Teachers TOUR brings my passion to inspire growth in kids through music. Based on my original album Creature Teachers kids will jump and sing during the 1 hour live performance designed for families. Music, stories, a puppet and props keep everyone engaged and paying attention the whole time.
Each song features an animal from the Bible in a different musical style so kids are exposed to unique sounds and inspired to grow… musically, physically, mentally and spiritually. I find that special events like this help kids to remember concepts in a unique way.
After one show I heard a story about a young boy who was reminding his sister who was upset that "We don't worry about that, we throw those worries away and take the time to pray."
Book a Creature Teachers performance at amyessen.com and share this with people you know who love kids and have a passion to see them grow musically and spiritually. I can't wait to see you soon!
Amy
