Laurie Phillips - Director of Education, Congregation Habonim
Rhythm is innate within us all - the beat of our heart, the way we walk, and the clapping of our hands. We explore the basics of rhythm and music in a fun and interactive way. These workshops give each participant the experience of being a part of an orchestra or a band - in which each small contribution is vital to the making of something big, grand, and beautiful.

“Musical IQ was an amazing program! The children and staff loved it. By the mere fact that all retained the information that you exposed them to, is a credit to you, your staff and your program.”
Yoseefa - Camp Ashreinu
This workshop explores musical styles from around the world and whips them together in a magical journey through drum music. Small World visits a multitude of musical cultures and offers us a glimpse into their incredible diversity. Despite the differences Small World transcends all boundaries through the universal language of music.
We know the power of music and its ability to heal, teach, open, and evoke the mind, body, and soul. Our work is aimed at inspiring positive change through creative expression
Camp Fire Musical experience is a sensational, interactive drumming workshop. The setting is around a warm camp fire. It is a high energy and fun experience during which we will be orchestrating an energizing drum show together with the audience.
“The spirit and enthusiasm that the drummers convey is infectious. I recommend this program to any organization looking for an innovative, fun and inspirational program. Our students loved the program. The program had a universal appeal.”

Mondetta (Little World) is our very own spectacular performance. Small World brings together musical and rhythmic influences from around the world and facilitates an interactive show which is energizing and inspiring.
Mondetta is composed of world class musicians, dancers and percussionists. All are frequent faces on and off Broadway.
Drum Tale Adventure
Drum Tales: Drum Tales is fun, interactive, percussive and musical. It is much like the traditional drum circle concept, yet we have taken it to a new level, combining story-telling, musical instrumentation, and song. Each participant is given a percussive instrument which becomes their medium of transportation to far-away lands and exotic places, to ride the waves of mystery of an unfolding plot, and into the deep realm of imagination and the colorful beyond.
“Drum Tales was a program that the children and the teachers both enjoyed. We have already had Musical IQ twice to our school. They were awesome!”
Gayle Wagner - Joan Levin Nursery School
The Lion King of Africa takes participants on a musical journey to the remotest parts of Africa. We experience the magical passion and excitement of Africa. The workshop takes a close look at the musical instruments of Africa and the beautiful musical cultures of the African continent. We showcase a variety of different instruments from Africa which participants get to play. Join us on this marvelous trip - a truly unique experience!
"Wild animals, deserts and jungles, tribes and villages make this an unforgettable experience."
Pirates of the Caribbean is a true adventure! On our journey across oceans and through the high seas, we will explores musical styles and rhythms from around the world - as we encounter them along the way. On this adventure, we will have a glimpse into the incredible diversity of musical cultures, styles, and expression around the world. We will learn how to transcend these apparent differences through the universal language of music. This is an interactive, energetic and fun workshop.

Drumming is a great way to break down barriers, create common ground and teach people the value of listening and learning together. Just as a successful relationship requires listening, sharing, cooperation, and openness, so too are these values expressed in making music.
"Musical IQ creates a sense of community in a group environment and reinforces the idea that working together towards a common goal is essential for both music making and achieving success in general."
Musical IQ: Sam (NY), Yuiji (Japan), Doloras (Mexico) Shmueli (South Africa), Larry (West Africa), Reese (Chicago) , Lisa (Dominican Republic)
