School Program

Kids Playing Water Jugs

Kids just want to have fun! In bringing the Village Music Circles™ experience directly to schools, we create a high energy kids activity that provides immediate gratification and feedback while encouraging self expression and self esteem through cooperation, contribution, and musical communication. We bury any message you want to deliver inside a fun, Village Music Circles™ activity that experientially and kinesthetically demonstrates specific principals of success.

Hearing Impaired Children Drumming

Village Music Circles™ uses the most basic and simple principles of the drum as a tool for unity within the school environment. The spirit and magic of drums, percussion and rhythm reach all ages, sexes, religions, races and cultures. Whether the purpose of your program is educational, inspirational or community building, using Village Music Circles™ will rapidly eliminate social barriers while creating a fun and dynamic environment that will ensure success.

Through rhythmic communication, Village Music Circles™ provides a hands-on experience that exemplifies direct, immediate action and result. As a model for educators and an experience for children, a Village Music Circles™ event demonstrates the effects of action and interaction using auditory, kinesthetic and visual modalities to enhance communication, encourage cooperation and stimulate quality peer relationships.

Kids At Risk

Teenagers Playing Rhythm Instruments

There are 15 million at-risk kids in America today. A rhythm-based event is a natural way to provide a young person with an opportunity to creatively channel and release the pent-up emotions and frustrations that often accompany the process of growing up. Village Music Circles™ facilitators are nationally known by government drug rehabilitation organizations for their excellent work with this special population.

Using his unique and effective facilitation techniques, Arthur Hull offers training programs to teachers who wish to integrate rhythm based events into their teaching curriculum. Based on his book, Drum Circle Spirit, Arthur offers 3-day national training programs and an annual week long facilitator’s intensive on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii.
