What is CLAVE?

Steve gutzler

CLAVE is an interactive teambuilding experience that allows individuals to use percussion instruments to collaborate and communicate through rhythmic expression.   No prior drumming or musical training or skills are required!   It's a great celebration of self-discovery, personal leadership, and team unity.  Workgroups and teams of all sizes end our sessions with renewed energy, cohesiveness, and enhanced awareness that the whole is greater that the sum of its individual parts.
