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"
