One World Rhythm Drum Circles
“In his capacity as an instructor working with 75 students grades 1 through 5 as well as a parent support core of about 30 people, Pete added a new dimension to our project…. He was unfailingly professional, reliable, well organized and well prepared in his presentations. I highly recommend Pete Ellison’s involvement in your project.”

“One World Rhythm brought a musical percussion program to our school this month. The program was superb in how it introduced children to listening games, call and response, clapping patterns and exposure to different types of music. The children quickly got into the spirit and were engaged in moving their bodies to the music as they played along with the instruments. Each student was able to use a shaker, boomwhaker and soundscape drum because One World Rhythm brought enough supplies for all which is very important to the success of the program.

 

…I highly recommend this program to other schools.”

“Everyone in the room participated & had so much fun! The smiles on the faces of the parents told the whole story.”

“What a wonderful experience for our children! The group enjoyed the free expression, learning to manipulate the various sounds and rhythms and experiencing a manner in which to achieve a cohesive band with a group of people.”

“What a great “musical” afternoon you brought to our center last month. The 30+ older adults participating in the “Drum Circle” had a blast. Our center is always looking for unique programs to challenge and inspire our participants to try something new. The creative exercises you directed in listening, mimicking and just playing the instruments and drums you provided was a delight to observe. It also served as an ice breaker as most participants didn’t know each other and new acquaintances were made. Your program seemed to bring out the “child” in all “new” musicians.

I would highly recommend other senior (or other age group) programs looking for a creative, fun musical event to book One World Rhythm today!”

“Thank you so much for bringing your wonderful program, One World Rhythm, to us last month. It provided our residents with a wonderful morning of music, movement, rhythm and most of all, enjoyment. The unique sounds and instruments you brought offered them an opportunity I would not ordinarily be able to provide.

Many of our residents are dealing with Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia which erodes their verbal abilities. Your wonderful program allows them to rise above those limitations and enjoy themselves. I would heartily recommend your program to any residential care facility for the elderly or any senior day care program.

Thank you, again, so much.”

“Pete, my guests at the 60th Birthday Party truly enjoyed your great One World Rhythm concept of involving everyone.  They are still talking about it and some of the pictures that were taken during your visit capture their enjoyment which is evidenced by the expressions on their faces”

Joann Reina

“One World Rhythm provides an engaging program that is exciting and creative. The kids at my program ranged in age from toddler to teenager, and all participated from start to finish. Pete and Debbie seamlessly lead the participants from simpler rhythms to more complex, and by the end, all come together to create strong, energetic music.”

Lisa Schloss - Librarian, JC Fremont Branch Library

“I was impressed with One World Rhythm. My nine year old son wanted a musical birthday party and these folks fit the bill!! The kids (there were plenty of them) remained engaged through the whole show and I got great reviews from the other parents. The kids really loved making music together. So if you like something outside the box this is the way to go!”
