An exciting musical journey for children - developed through practical music-making. The Rhythm Centre works with educators,
primary schools and high schools in the following areas:
the process :: We bring an orchestra of sound making equipment and after a brief introduction, give plenty of opportunity for pupils to experiment and find their own rhythms which we all get to play. :: We show how different sounds go together and what a difference tempo and tone makes. :: We often record as we play so that pupils get instant feedback and confirmation of their wonderful ‘works in progress’. :: It is a good idea for schools to take digital shots of their pupils in action as they do reveal some startling insights about the players! :: It is also not uncommon for teachers to find this a little hard to grasp initially compared with the children. This occurs mainly because teachers sometimes are concerned about ‘sounding right’. :: All that is required is that one relaxes into the process and enjoys it, for the rhythm entrains the hands leading the hands to synergise with the music being made. |
