Mr. Eric's Musical Adventures provide learning for young students couched in silly fun and nonsense. Through highly engaging songs and interactive audience participation, Mr. Eric sneakily teaches rhythm, rhyming, song writing, singing, movement, and pitch, with a big boost of vocabulary to boot.
Specific topics include the Letter Series (looking at the alphabet in an original way), the Instrument Series (bassoons, guitars, snare drums, hot dogs, etc.), and the Food Series (well actually, this topic shows up in pretty much any song Mr. Snotsense does).
Sure, it’s educational but much more importantly, it’s a lot of fun!
Mr. Eric writes and sings silly songs, and you (or at least your students) can too! Through highly interactive sessions, Mr. Eric draws out the student’s incredible imagination to create original melodies, exciting harmonies, and great story-telling lyrics (which, of course, will likely lean toward the silly). Before they know it, they’ll have unwittingly learned about rhythm, pitch, harmony, singing, and lyric writing, and will have had loads of fun doing it.
The extraordinary efforts of the students culminate in an end of session concert for everyone to hear their great songs.
With 25+ years as a world-class orchestra conductor, Mr. Eric’s been around the musical block a few times and loves sharing this insider knowledge with kids in a (much more) fun and silly way!

Sure, he’s been a professional orchestra conductor for many years (Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra 2015-2022, founder of the Juno-nominated group of 27 orchestra, etc.) but Eric Paetkau can’t get enough of the pure joy and laughter that comes with performing school concerts for kids . Combining his interactive, original songs and goofy stories, Eric’s live shows and song writing residencies are a hoot. He’s also got a weekly online TV show for kids, writes children's books, and uses a banana phone.
Eric‘s silly alter ego, Mr. Eric, is just a big kid who loves sharing music and stories. His infectious energy gets people singing, dancing, and yearning for ice cream.
