One of the most in-demand Rhythm Kids programs is our outstanding cultural enrichment workshops and school assemblies. Hailed by veteran educators, music teachers and PTO representatives, our programs make a lasting impression on students and aim to support concepts students are learning in the classroom.
Enrichment Workshops:
Our most popular workshop is the cultural enrichment classroom workshops. Students join Rhythm Kids, class-by-class, for a wild, African adventure. Our journey begins with their imaginations enhanced with unique, world percussion instrument "trip to Africa." Upon our arrival to the village, we sing, move, dance and drum while we have a blast learning lots of new things about the culture. At our journey's end, we dance our way back to classroom having had an experience that connects what we have been studying about in class.
If you have a grade studying about Africa, this is a program you ABSOLUTELY have to check out!
Also Available:
- South American Sounds: Children experience the sounds, the rhythms, the language and the songs from South America--our presenters are fluent in Spanish!
- Rhythm Kids Workshop: Utilizing many of the Music Education approaches (Dalcroze, Orff and Kodály) children sing, dance and drum their way to a whole lot of fun!
School Assembly Programs:
Nothing beats the collective energy of a group of students jamming together on drums, shakers, bells, woodblocks and other instruments. Rhythm Kids has put together an assembly program that can be adapted for all ages and includes; improvisation, movement, call & response and so much more. We have a saying at Rhythm Kids, "If you stay, you play!" So, we like to get EVERYONE involved in the action at whatever level they are comfortable joining along.Rhythm Kids can accommodate large groups, but prefer to keep assemblies to groups around 200 for the best experience possible. Call us today to book us to kick-off the year, just before vacation times, middle of the Winter blues, memorialize a special occasion or end the year with a lasting memory! You have a reason to gather together and that means we have a reason to drum!
NEW! D.R.U.M. Up Character Assembly: Rhythm Kids offers a high-energy assembly for Elementary-age students that mixes learning with fun. Your group takes a musical journey with four character traits: Doing Your Best (Devotion), Respect, Understanding and Musicality and each trait is combined with movement, rhythm chants, partner dancing, singing and drumming.
We finish with a high energy, student-lead drum jam that is TOTALLY INTERACTIVE with lots of audience participation. Kids and adults alike will have a great time working together and will dance and smile back to their classrooms with connections that can be immediately applied in the classroom.
