ASSEMBLIES
– Musical Math –
Phill
uses world drum rhythms to teach and reinforce math facts: doubles & doubles +
1, skip counting, and multiplication.
He begins by showing the students how to clap their math facts with drum rhythms from Latin America (Phil offers separate primary and intermediate presentations with appropriate grade-level content).
Using popular Boomwhacker tubes and his Indonesian xylophone, Phil shows how the same fractions of length are used to make music in Indonesia, Mexico, China, Ghana, and the Caribbean!
Finally, Phil gives your teachers and students a free downloadable CD with all of his math facts tracks to practice at home and school.
FAMILY ACTIVITY NIGHTSThen, they join together to form a giant drum circle featuring rhythms from West Africa, Brazil, Japan, and Indonesia!
IN-CLASS FIELD TRIPS
"West African Grooves" engages your kids in a dynamic celebration West African
patterns and features hands-on drumming. They begin by learning how to read
rhythmic patterns using Unifix
cubes, and then perform popular hand drum rhythms from Nigeria, Guinea, and
Liberia. Taking it a step further, they learn how to blend rhythm and poetry to
create multipart interlocking rhythms, and then finish off with a giant drum
circle featuring interactive musical games and activities! PRICING Family Activity Nights are $900 for one 2-hour
presentation. Assembly/Family Night combinations are $200
off—now only $1,600. In-Class Field Trips are $900
for 3 classes in a 2-hour timeframe. This includes a 35 minute presentation
for all students, followed by three 20-minute breakout sessions (one for each
class) in which the students play drums, shakers, and boomwhackers. There is an additional travel charge for schools more than
1 hour from downtown Sacramento, California.
– West African Grooves –
In-class field trips are usually scheduled for a given
grade level. For example, if Phil were to present this for 1st grade, he would
start with an assembly for all of your 1st graders, followed by a separate
breakout session for each 1st grade class — and best of all, Phil brings enough
drums for everyone to participate!
Assemblies are $900 for two 45-minute presentations within
a 2-hour timeframe.
