​A.R.T.E.  Workshop/Clinic is an improvisational approach that explores the Rhythm of each individual; i.e. walk, talk, own sense of beat…, and combines their rhythm with the individual Sound of each; i.e. voice, instrument, syllable expressions…and how to Create within a tune during its execution.
 
The Music Workshop / Clinic consist of three natural components:
Natural Rhythm
Natural Sound
Natural Creativity
 
The workshop enhances the awareness of each individual, no-matter the age group, of their own effect upon communication, while simultaneously have them concentrate and move confidently within their own space and rhythm. Audience patrons are encouraged to bring their instruments.
