As a teaching artist/storyteller, Terrence Roberts embraces the teaching power of words and music. Students are fascinated with the culture, stories, and musical instruments of West Africa. Roberts’ performances, workshops, and residencies are filled with teaching moments, not just in West African culture but in science, history, and language arts. Terrence Roberts is known as “Da Story Weaver,” because he weaves the world together one story at a time. In the language of the Bamanakan people of West Africa, the ancient title “Da” was one who connected his people to their past and escorted them into their future. Roberts is a master storyteller who draws children into his web with his animated and interactive style.
