Musical Math
- musical fun with math facts, fractions, and geometric shapes  -  

Phil and the students play and say their math facts with dum rhythms from around the world.

Interactive School Assemblies
– Musical Math –
Phil uses world drum rhythms to teach and reinforce core math standards, including doubles & doubles+1, skip counting, and multiplication.

Active Learning: Students learn to "clap their math facts" using popular rhythms from Latin America.

Global Connections: Using popular Boomwhacker tubes and his Indonesian xylophone, Phil shows how the same fractions of length are used to make music in Indonesia, Mexico, China, Ghana, and the Caribbean!

Age-Appropriate: Separate presentations are tailored specifically for primary and intermediate grade levels.

Take-Home Value: Every school receives a free digital collection of math facts tracks for students to practice at home or in the classroom!

 

Family Activity/Community Engagement Nights
– Rhythm and Math Night –
Bring the whole community together for an evening of creativity and sound. Families explore the geometry of music by building their own instruments.

Engineering & Design: Kids use fractions and geometric shapes to construct origami poppers and tube drums.

The Grand Finale: The night culminates in a massive, inclusive drum circle featuring rhythms from West Africa, Brazil, Japan, and Indonesia.

In-Class Workshops
– West African Grooves –
Deepen the learning with an intimate, hands-on workshop. Phil brings enough instruments for every student to participate!
