Bill’s performances are an upbeat and participatory combination of story and song that are geared specifically for the grade levels he’s performing for. With original and folk-based material, written and adapted over the years, Bill knows how to reach both students and teachers. Across the country schools use his award-winning songs and stories in language, music, and drama programs.

"Bill tells us that he can determine a school's culture in ten minutes. Well, I can tell a good performer in five! Bill Harley came into our school to set up for his performance. He was relaxed, attentive to students, and attentive to his own details without coming off like a self-absorbed performer. After two minutes, he had my audience of kindergarten, first and second graders in the palm of his hand. At the end of the hour, they were still totally engrossed and totally engaged. I'd have to say that this was the best performance that I have ever brought to Bryn Mawr in my three years as principal of the school. Bill's performance was a real high!" Pat Haggerty

During the lunch hour or directly after school, Bill will make himself available to meet students, teachers and parents for a signing session. Participating schools may pre-order books and CDs for Bill to sign that day and earn 30% of all sales for your school. A signed book or tape is a permanent reminder to students and staff of the day spent with Bill - a reminder that will keep giving a little of Bill’s magic for a long time.
