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.
