Student programs - aftercare

Dr. Woodson's student workshop programs are available as an Aftercare activity in the greater Cleveland, Ohio area. He brings his time-tested, hands-on craft activities once or twice a month to your school at the end of a school day for up to around 50 K-6 students at a time. At each workshop, students will make a creative musical instrument, learn how to play it, compose with a simple notation, and conduct music.

The instruments come from a large collection of his design and include one of his many 'composite' musical instruments like his Drumpet or Guitarolin. Others might be an African talking drum, Asian xylophone or European trombone. All instrument materials are provided by Dr. Woodson and prepared in such a way as to be successful for all elementary ages.

At times he brings enough of his unique Sound Shape drums with Connector invention for each student to construct a small drum set for a closing drum circle.

Dr. Woodson has over 30 years of presenting workshops for young people, and adapts his entertaining, student friendly ideas to the aftercare community. He has been presenting Aftercare at a local Beachwood school for over three years.

His Aftercare programs can last from one to two hours depending on the needs and budget of the school. This program is available once per month or as needed by the school and to match Dr. Woodson's schedule.
