Hi, I'm Daveed Korup. For the past eleven years I have been bringing rhythm-based program to school-age youth all across the country. Please visit my website at www.drumfest.com.

There is a cook book of drumtoy recipies from recyclables. If anyoneis interested in seeing some of my lesson plans for a drumming activity designed around a math lesson in "Fibonacci Numbers" or an activity called "Rhythm Strands" based on the Inca's system om communications called "Quipu" (Key-poo). I have lessons for rawhide rattle making and directions for making a large, 50-gal family drum.

In addition, I offer programming in reading writing and drumming centered around Bank Street College's, Nina Jaffe. She is the Scholastic.com's folklore expert. She edited a book of folktales from ten different world cultures all about drum s and drummers.

There are video clips of my work with students and teachers, plus mp3's that cover a broad range of musical and informational topics.

Should you have any questions or an interest in my coming to your community to work with home school groups and private families, please don't hesitate to contact me. I maintain a current booking schedule on my website and if you see me travelling nearby, let's explore the possibilities of my coming to your area.

Thanks...Daveed
