Our programs
School Assemblies
A high-energy, fully facilitated drum circle experience for groups of 20 to 200 students. Designed to engage every student in the room — not just the ones who already love music. Evidence-based social-emotional learning benefits including cooperation, active listening, and self-regulation are built into the facilitation approach, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Classroom + Small Group Sessions
Smaller, more intimate music-making experiences suited to individual classrooms, resource rooms, or specialty populations. Particularly effective for SEL-focused programming, wellness initiatives, and therapeutic enrichment contexts.
Instrument Discovery Experiences
For Summer Camps
- Turn one hour into a highlight of the week.
The Mobile Music Lab is designed to fit a standard one-hour activity block.
We bring the instruments, run the program, and leave your staff free to enjoy the energy alongside your campers. Perfect for a single visit or a recurring weekly slot throughout the season.
- Drum circles, musical story-telling, rhythm games & instrument exploration
Works for all age groups and mixed-age sessions
No musical experience required for campers or staff.
Music-making and
social-emotional learning.
Research consistently demonstrates that group drumming and collaborative music-making support key SEL competencies — including self-awareness, responsible decision-making, and relationship skills. The Mobile Music Lab’s facilitation approach is informed by evidence-based practices developed in clinical and educational settings, including the HealthRHYTHMS protocol used in our senior programming.
We’re happy to provide supporting documentation for grant applications, curriculum alignment requests, or administrator approval processes. Just ask.

Every District Should Have Access To This

We Rebooked Them
"I was skeptical that a one-hour program could make that kind of impact, but the Mobile Music Lab proved me wrong. It fit perfectly into our activity block, the facilitators handled everything, and our campers ranked it as their favorite activity of the entire session. We rebooked them before they left the parking lot."

The Group Gelled
"Our after-school kids can be a tough crowd at the end of a long day. The Mobile Music Lab somehow managed to turn that energy into something completely positive. They were engaged, they were laughing, they were making real music together. I've never seen that group gel the way they did that afternoon."

They Understood Our Students
"What I appreciate most is that they understand our students. There was no talking down, no over-explaining, no assumption that kids from our community needed a different experience than anyone else. They got the same world-class program -- and they responded to it beautifully."

Title I School Music Teacher
Every Student Was Engaged
"Finding assembly programming that works for middle schoolers is genuinely hard. They're skeptical of everything. The Mobile Music Lab had them participating before they even realized it was happening. I watched kids who never engage with anything in this building drumming alongside their classmates with huge smiles on their faces."

Our Students Were Captivated
"From the moment they walked in, our students were completely captivated. The Mobile Music Lab has a way of making every child feel like a musician -- and for a lot of our kids, that's not something they've ever felt before. It was one of those rare school experiences that nobody wanted to end."
