This lively presentation & hands-on program joins strangers & friends for community-style music-making, is appropriate for all sorts of groups & ages, & it\u2019s entertaining, educational & fun! Requiring absolutely no prior musical experience, it includes participation of everyone, & can inspire newcomers to rhythm & music, awaken the latent musician within, & expand the possibilities of those who are already musically active.<\/p>\n

Specially prepared for your specific group situation, Barbara has joyfully presented…

\u201cA World of Drums: The Magic of<\/em>\u00a0Rhythm!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0in schools, camps, libraries, houses, churches, home-school gatherings, community centers, special needs groups, & family-style neighborhood venues, since 1994.<\/p>\n

The heartbeat is our common ground, we all inherently know the universal language of rhythm. Music-making is something everyday folks used to do before the age of television, but now it’s been so long we’ve forgotten how to do it & have lost our confidence along the way. Providing quality edu-tainment & a positive rhythm experience for everyone, this gets us all into the groove.<\/p>\n

Adults appreciate the multi-cultural aspects, the beautiful instruments, & permission to feel like a kid again. Children love rhythm, & naturally respond to it.<\/p>\n

Group rhythm offers creative enrichment & a healthy outlet for self-expression, while emphasizing positive social qualities we wish to foster in our children & practice ourselves: community spirit, geographical & cultural awareness, listening skills, a cooperative attitude, & respect.<\/p>\n

Relaxing while energizing, developing cognition & coordination, the benefits of the drum circle have been well-documented in the fields of health, wellness, & the education of children. And everyone loves making a loud, joyful noise!<\/p>\n

You’ll learn about & play an amazing & varied large collection of exotic & fascinating boomers, bangers, clingers, clangers, shakers, scrapers, dingers, & dongers (a.k.a. percussion instruments!) from around the world, primarily made by indigenous artisans of natural materials. Over 40 different & fascinating instruments can be provided!<\/p>\n

So let’s get ready to boom boom cha!<\/div><\/div>Read More<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”665″ add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text font_size=”18″]Wiggle Wiggle Boom Boom!
