Special Needs School Programs

The Rhythm Village works at Special Needs Schools and Support Units throughout the greater Sydney region. We use music as a medium to unlock the hidden potential and capabilities of these students.

Generally run in groups, each student is given the opportunity to ‘shine’! Students create sounds and music, explore their creativity and push their physical boundaries.

Our workshops can focus on a particular instrument, such as drumming workshops, or we can provide general music workshops, with a variety of instruments – all sessions include lots of percussion participation.

We can also bring specialty instruments to complement the term theme we are running at the time. Instruments such as gongs, didgeridoo or singing bowls may be used for relaxation at the end of sessions.

We offer one-off workshops, or more regular weekly or fortnightly sessions. Our music and movement workshops are all about interactivity and engagement and we promote working together as a group. We can also work towards an end-of-term or end-of-year performance.

We work with primary and secondary schools and our syllabus links directly with the NSW Creative Arts (Music) curriculum. We come in for a full day with the aim of offering the joy of music to as many students as possible. All our programs are designed to fit in with your school’s schedule and consider each student’s priorities and key learning objectives.
