Rhythm Works

Percussion and technology

Discover how music can be used to conjure up strong visual images with this dynamic percussion duo.

Rhythm Works are a dynamic percussion duo who show students how to create visual images through music – with lizards, waterfalls, road trains, and carnivals. In this high energy show, students are introduced to a range of instruments from African djembes, marimbas, electronic loop machines, Boomwhackers, and wearable instruments made out of PVC pipe! Students are shown ways to create their own musical imagery in the classroom or at home.
