Enthusiasm is catching! Al deCant’s family concerts bring excitement, warmth and vitality together
for a lively and exhilarating experience for children and their parents. (Al’s music and character-
education themes are being used in schools and classrooms throughout Connecticut.)
Parents, teachers and children immediately respond to the catchy tunes and lyrical wit of this veteran
singer/songwriter/educator. Al’s original comic and soulful songs are enjoyed as much by adults as
they are by children. Audiences are engaged in an interactive program: dancing, singing, clapping,
marching, playing percussive instruments and signing about caring, friendship, family, the
environment and the silly things in life.
Al’s musical styles have been compared to everyone from James Taylor to Elvis Presley, but he
clearly expresses his own unique style of children’s music. With high-energy tunes spanning genres
from traditional folk, rock and roll to Afro-Reggae rhythms, Al knows how to engage his audience in
singing along, dancing, and having one heck of a good time. His sing-a-long songs; “Wake it Up,
Shake it up,” “I Don’t Wanna go to Bed,” “My Best Friend,” “Bath Tub Blues,” and “Energy
Cop” personify the enduring themes Al writes about. Al says, “There is nothing more exciting when
families and friends are singing, dancing and making music together.”
Al deCant has taught elementary school for over 15 years and is currently an elementary school
principal in Connecticut. He holds several advanced degrees in Elementary Education, Educational
Media and Administration. He actively performs throughout Connecticut for school, libraries,
hospitals, local fair, fundraisers as well as private and coporate functions. He is also a presenter for
the Connecticut Association for the Gifted – Minds in Motion and the Early Childhood Development
Council.
