Living Rhythms

We were pleased to host "Living Rhythms," an Arts-in-Education Program of Tam Tam Mandingue Dejembe Academy. Instructors spent two full days with us and offered hands-on workshops to all grade levels throughout the day in conjunction with the Arts Team.

"With an authentic imported drum for every student, these powerful educational programs immerse students in both the music and dance of West Africa."



"Participants learn rhythms and songs that represent the traditions of several African ethnic groups, then learn dances that historically accompany the musical selections. Strong emphasis is placed on the traditional West African values of respect, community and teamwork. Living Rhythms workshops broaden students’ understanding of our increasingly interdependent world, and encourage them to embrace a life of critical thinking."
