ASSEMBLIES
– Moving in Rhythm
Phil combines the best parts of his
Story Reading program
and his Mindfulness program for
this special presentation on drumming, mindfulness, and community building.
He begins with the classic Rudyard Kipling tale about how the elephant got its trunk - complete with drums, interactive rhythm activities, and think-aloud games. He also tells sound stories, made up entirely of sound effects. As the students hear thunderstorms, barking dogs, and race cars, they learn to connect their knowledge of sequence, inference, and prediction, to the sounds in their world.
Throughout the program, Phil also shows students his mindfulness breathing exercises for emotional balance, focused listening, and successful learning. The students learn these exercises while sitting down, as well as standing up - with the entire student body moving together in a community building activity with music!
As an added bonus, Phil gives your teachers a free downloadable CD with all of his musical mindfulness activities for their classrooms!
