I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in music from the Eastman School of Music. For the last 26 years, I’ve presented programs at TK-8 schools in the Sacramento area. These programs are based on the California Visual and Performing Arts Framework, and feature cultural activities from West Africa, Ancient Mesoamerica, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Middle East. In 1998, I was honored with a Music Fellowship Award from the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission in the Arts Education category. In addition, I have designed/programmed online musical resources at www.philtulga.com, which is the #1 rated website by Google for “music activities and arts integration lessons” – 7 years in a row. I’ve taught Music for Children at ARC, and Jazz Studies courses at CSUS. As a musician, I’ve performed with the Sacramento Philharmonic, Broadway Sacramento, Capital Jazz Project, and jazz/pop greats including Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.

In Homemade Music, Phil demonstrates all of his wacky homemade instruments, and shows the students how to transform common household items into musical marvels using math and measurement! Phil features straw oboes, sprinkler pipe panflutes, and water bottle xylophones, along with his online follow up activities. Before the presentation, please have on hand: an empty soda can, or an empty water bottle. This will be used to make a homemade shaker to play rhythm games together during the program!
