Wait List: Multi-Cultural Rhythm and Music Workshop. No music experience is required

Date Sep 11, 2021 | Time 9:30am - 11:30am

What could be more universal than music to inspire and lead an early childhood activity? Louise Raymond, the Artistic Director of Malicounda invites the Early Childhood Educators to participate in a unique Live Virtual Music & Rhythm Workshop using “home-grown” instruments: bucket, sticks, plastic bowls, jars/bags of rice or beans, spoons or your own drum. This session will provide educators with the necessary tools to facilitate a music circle using an innovative method created 25 years ago. Louise will demonstrate an approach to cognitive training helping children tap into their inner creativity, discovering the soothing impact of rhythm. Through this workshop, educators will acquire an additional educational technique that stimulates the artistic and intellectual creativity in children and reinforces cognitive development.

Presenter: For 30 years, as Artistic Director of Malicounda, Louise with all her love, has shared her passion and respect for this vital culture, touching the lives of thousands of people - Children, youth, adults, and elders - through rhythm. The company was awarded several grants from Arts Start in Vancouver, Foundation for the Arts in Alberta and Culture in Schools in Quebec. She is an inspiring presenter and a motivating facilitator in French, English or Spanish!
