Intro to drumming Creative Rhythms™️ Facilitator Training 2019 with Michael Deaton leading the lesson.
Creative Rhythms™️ Facilitator Training Session
This group of trainees are learning how to introduce the instruments and learning the language for group facilitation. The simplicity of the language is important and inclusive. Each facilitator learns the language nuances by practicing co-facilitation with the team over a period of 3-6 months.
During the train there are events or programs planned specifically to allow for opportunities to facilitate under the guidance of the Creative Rhythms™️ Team Leaders. This creates a learning environment and builds confidence while providing a quality experience for the participants of the training programs. Following each co-facilitated event, trainees are given opportunities to review, ask for feedback and trouble shooting any mishaps(if needed).

What's happening in this session:
Prior to the video being recorded drummers were led through learning 2 different rhythms and given the invitation to join in with one or the other when they feel ready. The group was also invited to get creative after the group sound started to gain momentum(they could add other sounds, various rhythms and do their best to make the whole group sound good by listening and collaborating)
Here’s who we have worked with
