Rhythms of the World takes students back thousands of years in time to the tribal rhythms of Africa, through the migration to the West Indies, and back to 21st Century North America and Europe. The first 30min. is spent on an interactive powerpoint presentation, explaining how drums are made/played, where they originate, and how they are utilized in today's world. This part of the presentation will be followed by a 30 min. student/teacher performance. Subjects covered include African/world history, music, performance, physics/science(sound theory), geography, and phys. Ed.

The students will visit the instructor, one class at a time for a full day of hands-on drumming. There is an option for an interactive 1-hour performance at the end of the day where the rhythms learned in class are performed to the whole student body. Topics included: different sounds of the drum, how a drum is made, learning African rhythms, and playing in a group.
Duration: 1 full school day

This workshop/presentation will feature Steven Bowers and Keith Mullins.  It will consist of a 1-hour workshop with ten pre-selected students (no experience necessary, but students interested in poetry and/or music would be an asset).  The presenters guide the students in writing 1-2 songs.  Then Steve and Keith will present a 1-hour highly interactive and educational performance accompanied by PowerPoint.  For the finale of this show, Keith, Steve, and the student-writers perform the co-written songs in front of the student body.  This workshop is deigned to teach students about song structure, different music styles, instill confidence in creative processes and show students ways to pursue their passions.

Here's what Mr. Corey at Sir James Dunn Academy had to say about this presentation:

Steven and Keith's songwriting workshop is a highly engaging, hands-on opportunity for students to create an original song, from scratch, in one hour flat, and then, in an adrenalin-producing moment of instant fame, see their song performed in front of the school and a slew of newly converted fans. It took Steven and Keith a grand total of two hours to inspire the students, turn them into polished songwriters, and amalgamate them into a single student "supergroup" ready to perform for the entire school. Their workshop is something our students will never forget.
