Langley, Kernersville Elementary “The underlying theme was listening and teamwork – concepts that are vital in every area of education, in our homes, and in our world.” - Celia Leal, Lewisville Elementary School “This
art carried over into the classroom, and the give and take of the drum rhythms
enabled students to realize that each of them has a special gift to be used or
held at the appropriate time.” - Bettie Linville, Moore Elementary “It’s
powerful to see how deeply the kids understand the language of the drum. That’s something that will be with them
forever.” - Mary Siebert, Arts Based Elementary School “The introduction of this new art and cultural experience has been wonderful for our school. The pride and enthusiasm of all our students was more than evident in their broad smiles, and in their excitement.” - Parent, Boise School District
“The staff of Living Rhythms is professional, knowledgeable, and well-prepared, and combined with their delightful personalities and keen understanding of children, they taught Adams’ students so much in a short period to time. They bring an enthusiasm and dedication that is contagious, and the knowledge to help educate people of all ages about the joys of African Drumming. - S. Bender-Kitz, Ph.D., Adams Elementary “Living Rhythms masterfully led the students into the understanding that drums are not only an instrument, but also a tool for learning how to appreciate differences and how to include others. They used class lessons to point out the strengths of each student. If a child was struggling, he was given a task in which he could be successful. Living Rhythms continually reinforced positive behavior and accepted everyone. The children adored and respected Living Rhythms and looked forward to their drumming time each day.”
