The Rhythm Room Rocks!
“Lively, Exciting, Interactive Fun!
This talented group of musicians exploded
with sound. Students and staff were on their
feet. It was a 45 minute journey of sound
students will never forget. The universal staff comment was “That was the best show we
ever had!” We highly recommend them!
Skill and Social Development
Rick will discuss team-building and the importance of strong listening skills for the percussionist while playing
with other musicians. Building on this theme, students will work as a team to develop confidence by playing in a creative and supportive drum circle.
Rhythm is a Mathematical Equation
“The most controversial finding is that learning music can help children do better at math… Music involves proportions, ratios, sequences - all of which underlie mathematical reasoning.“ (Music on the Mind)
Rhythm and History
Rick will demonstrate various hand percussion instruments and briefly discuss histories of each, creating a musical timeline: from hand percussion, to
Djemba, to electric drums, to the traditional drum kit.
Music is a universal language, a form of Communication, of Art
Rick will explain the execution of hand motion to bring out the proper voice of each drum and demonstrate how a percussionist can tell a story with rhythm and theatrical flair.
LEARNING CAN BE LOUD
Watch Rick Morin teach
second graders how 
to play a beat!
Explores world music as it relates to today’s pop culture,
combining discussion, demonstration and participation.
The use of world percussion, drum set, buckets and exploring percussion from objects and one’s own body (clapping,
stomping, etc.) is educational as well as motivational and fun.

You need not have any percussion experience to relate to the programs. Innerythms will cater programs to the student and/or educator audience, with special consideration to grade level and specific subject matter. This workshop will generate an exciting avenue for the teacher and the student to use music in a fun, educational way to enhance learning and develop their own
inner rhythm.
EDUCATOR WORKSHOPS
Teachers are immersed in a wide variety of genres designed to improve their knowledge
and skill base of ethnic music, musical listening skills and oral traditions. Percussion styles will be presented in a manner for the teacher to use as learning tools within their classroom. Examples of
incorporating rhythm into curriculum for a more cultural experience will be presented: a math teacher can explain the breakdown of numbers through rhythmic exercises; a history teacher can demonstrate ethnic instruments and their relationship to a society’s religious and social beliefs and music teachers can incorporate the art of hand percussion, capitalizing on its growing popularity.
