It is my pleasure to watch The Rhythmic Arts Project (TRAP) starting in so many classrooms throughout our county as well as across continents. Many happy children and adults are now experiencing the pleasures of rhythm based education thanks to TRAP.

It begins in the preschools where the program taches “ready to learn” skills such as listening and turn taking. Moving into the upper grades TRAP covers several Common Core State Standards (CCSS) such as comprehension, phonemic awareness and pre-requisite algebra skills. At all levels the students gain skills in math and reading and find their own rhythm. Music is embedded in the program so students also learn what a musical note is, how to keep a beat, and so much more…….all provided through hands-on lessons using multiple teaching modalities. Effective instruction is built into this very special program.

Thank you for helping bring TRAP to our students.

“What I love about TRAP is how effectively it engages students across such a wide range of functional abilities and ages. For the past 15 years, I have been working with

students with moderate to severe disabilities, and there are not many activities that can hold the attention and teach skills to students ranging from preschool to post-secondary age the way that TRAP does. Also, Eddie Tuduri’s passion and enthusiasm both for the program and our students is completely infectious! –Heidi Escobar, Occupational Therapist.

One of the most rewarding aspects of The Rhythmic Arts Project ishaving met so many generous spirits. I’ve been met with so much kindness and compassion in so many far away places. We have such a myopic view of the world through the media’s distorted lens. I see goodness in all people no matter what their ethnicity or location in the world. Don’t be misled by the actions of a few while you turn a blind eye to the kindness of many.
