rhythm games workshop
With Frankie Demuru and/or collaborators - Designed for: Kindergarten and Primary Schools
Timeframe: up to 60 minutes - Groups: up to 40 participants
A high‑energy, hands‑on music experience for kindergarten groups
Our Rhythm Games Workshop brings the joy of music straight into your kindergarten or primary school with an exciting, fully interactive drumming session designed especially for young learners.
Every child is equipped with their own small snare drum, strap, and drumsticks, transforming the room into a playful mini‑drumline!
We introduce children to the power of rhythm through our signature teaching method:
“If you can say it, you can play it!”
Using animal names, favourite foods, sweets, and other familiar words, kids learn to break down rhythms in a way that feels natural, intuitive, and fun.
To build confidence and musical awareness, we use kid‑friendly backing tracks that help children clap, tap, and play in time. The workshop is packed with lively call‑and‑response activities, group rhythm games, and spontaneous jam moments that encourage listening, teamwork, and creativity.
Designed for small to medium groups of up to 40 children, this workshop is energetic, educational, and unforgettable. It’s the perfect way to introduce music in a playful, accessible format that supports early learning and brings smiles to every face.

A modern roadmap to building a creative career in music
The Working Musician Workshop gives students a real‑world look at what it means to build a sustainable, fulfilling career in today’s music industry.
The session opens with a contemporary performance that demonstrates the versatility required of modern musicians across styles, roles, and creative environments.
Students are introduced to the realities of life as a musician in the digital age, including the powerful concept that “niches make riches”—how carving out a unique identity can lead to long‑term opportunities. We explore how the internet and social media help artists get known, build communities, and create multiple income streams.
The workshop covers essential career pathways such as live performance, in‑person and online teaching, remote session recording, programming, and collaboration.
Students also discover fast‑growing fields like sonic branding and composing for video games, films, and series.
We then dive into alternative careers in the music industry, including producing and creating sample packs, developing plug‑ins and sound libraries, event booking and promotion, and running record labels or distribution channels for bands.
Finally, we discuss how AI can be a powerful creative tool rather than a threat, helping musicians innovate, organise, and expand their artistic reach.
