The Village Music Circles 3-Day Basic Facilitators’ Training
3-Day Basic Rhythm Facilitators’ Training
Discover How Rhythm Brings People Together
Blending Music, Leadership, and Community
Village Music Circles' 3-Day Facilitators’ Training teaches the art of leading successful rhythm experiences. With hands-on practice, guided exercises, and rhythm games, you’ll develop the foundational skills to facilitate human potential through rhythm, fostering connection, creativity, and well-being.
Over three immersive days, you’ll learn to:
- Use clear, nonverbal cues to start, stop, and shape a group’s rhythm.
- Listen to the music and respond, support, and redirect when necessary.
- Identify the metaphor in music and utilize it to inspire others.
- Create inclusive rhythm experiences that inspire teamwork, confidence, and self-expression.
- Engage participants of all ages and abilities — from children and adults to elders and individuals with special needs.
- Cultivate your presence, awareness, and leadership as a rhythm facilitator.
- No musical experience is required — just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to explore.
You’ll leave with practical tools, new friendships, and the confidence to lead your own rhythm events, bringing music, connection, and joy into your classroom, workplace, or community.

"It is through the contact point with the circle that information comes to you, the Facilitator. It tells you what your next move will be. You think you are leading-but you are listening and following them... following you."
