Amazing Intelligence Race |
|
| |
Each of us is smart. However, we are not all smart in the same way. In fact, there are eight different kinds of smart. All of us have each of these intelligences, and each person has strengths in certain areas. Teams that have a healthy distribution of these intelligences can be particularly creative and effective. The Amazing Intelligence Race Team Challenge is an exploration of how each team member is smart and how those intelligences can be used to make the team smart. |

Village Music |
|
| |
The most technically perfect and creatively interpreted recording of a sonata was produced in Boston not long ago by a master conductor using amateur musicians for the orchestra. In the case of Village Music, the group may not be an orchestra, but the participants assembled are indeed a musical force. Everyone of them is totally qualified to roll straight into what we call in the moment music. Using simple tonal instruments, all participants need to do is play rhythmic phrases in order to be a valued contributor. Participants will progress through several skill levels of instruments and tambers, as the facilitator works to have them create harmony, develop dynamic listening, and hone technical skills. A community-wide jam session caps off our Village Music program in which the musicians will be allowed to use their own creativity to carry the rhythm in new directions. |
