Creative Metronome Training and Rhythmic Framing
Presented by Anthony Riscica MA, LCAT, MT-BC
In this engaging workshop, attendees will explore rhythmic training techniques developed by music therapist and professional drummer Anthony Riscica. Drawing on decades of drumming experience, this workshop highlights the benefits of rhythmic understanding in fostering deeper connections with clients and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Through use of metronome exercises and rhythmic timing, attendees will not only open their ears to different ways of listening and hearing, but also discover how these techniques can broaden their musicality and deepen their ability to connect with clients.
With rhythmic training often overlooked in many music therapy programs, this workshop is designed to fill that gap, offering participants practical skills to enrich their practice and elevate their work.
