Rhythm
for School life : using drums and percussion for life
lessons
Our philosophy is not just to teach
children about rhythm, but to use drums and percussion
to build confidence and create co-operative spirit,
to enhance communication and listening skills and to
lay the groundwork for creative expression in all areas
of life.
Rhythm is in all of us and its joy
as a tool for discovery and development is best explored
and nutured at a young age. Using rhythm based activities
we create a non-competitive inclusive environment in
which all children can thrive.
We are passionate about rhythm and
getting every child involved in the activities. Our
playshops are fun, exciting, inspiring and informative.
Children love making music together, especially when
it involves making lots of noise!
How to use us:
- One day (5 sessions and a
performance to parents and the rest of the school
or as many sessions as we can fit in during the day
so that as many children as possible can have an experience)
- Half day (1 or 2 classes
plus a performance)
- Week project (visit every
day for a week, 4 or 5 classes per day, with a performance
at the end of the week)
- Term project (visit once
a week for a term, 4 or 5 classes per day, with a
performance at the end of the term) - use this for
"Wider Opportunities" funded projects

techniques to complement and enhance existing teaching
skills.
