ABOUT THE ARTIST & COMPANY:
Founder of Trashcan Lid Productions (TLP), Jeff Erwin, is a performing artist, musician, and seasoned educator (M.A./M.Ed.). Jeff is a master teacher who leads participants down a path of self-exploration. Since 1989, Jeff’s work has enriched the lives of youth and young adults in schools, universities and on stages across America. His teaching style encourages students to take healthy risks and to make new discoveries about themselves while enabling them to be successful as performing artists and musicians in a relatively short period of time. Jeff's experience as a former classroom teacher sets him apart from many artists who visit schools today. He has an uncanny capacity to relate to youth of all ages and abilities while maintaining flawless classroom management. Meeting each student where they are at physically, emotionally, kinesthetically and cognitively is paramount in Jeff's teaching style.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM - JUNK 2 FUNK (J2F): Set aside any preconceived notions about what a youth music performance looks or sounds like. TLP's Junk 2 Funk program (grades K-8) is a multimedia extravaganza, performed by the youth at your school, that will exceed your expectations! This high-energy, student-driven program inspires participants to engage in the creative process with passion, work together as a singular unit, practice kindness, and care for our planet. J2F is a sensational outlet for students' originality, physical energy and individual expression. With an emphasis on making music on instruments made from recycled objects, along with the integration of music and visual technology, Jeff's main objective is to provide experiences that provoke one's imagination and that increase each individual's self-confidence and feeling of self worth. A Junk to Funk performance is interactive, exciting and truly in a class all its own! It provides participation opportunities for all in attendance - kids, friends & family, and faculty & staff alike!

As an educator, former classroom teacher, and former case manager for folks with developmental disabilities, I understand the importance of being sensitive to the needs of those participants who may require special attention, i.e., students with physical, emotional, behavioral and cognitive challenges.

Integrating students with learning and behavioral challenges is important to me. Educators/paraprofessionals have told me over the years how Junk 2 Funk reached students who otherwise had not been engaged in school academically and/or socially.
