Rhythm in the Woods

Ages 7-1 1

Shelley Fritz

Using African Djembe drums, Native American frame drums and over 100 other world drums & hand percussion instruments, we will learn about the connections between rhythm and nature and people around the world. We will explore the marsh & forest learning their unique sounds, put stories to music, play rhythm & movement games, make our own instruments and create a giant camp-wide drum circle. This is a fun/experiential rhythm class, not performance/precision drum instruction. Musical background is absolutely NOT necessary!
