Sally Childs-Helton
As a self-professed sound junkie, Sally believes almost anything can (and should)
be a percussion instrument. She especially enjoys working with beginners of all ages
and "re-beginners," helping them discover the joy she finds in playing music, and she
will play almost any kind of music with almost anyone.
Sally is a percussionist, ethnomusicologist, music educator, and mentor with over
30 years of teaching and ofacilitating experience. She holds a B.M.E., and an M.A.
and Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology, and is a certified Music for People guided music
improvisation teacher and a Remo Health RHYTHMS facilitator. Her teachers include
David Darling, Glen Velez, and Arthur Hull, and she continues to study with musicians
from many different musical and cultural backgrounds.
Sally teaches and conducts workshops in hand drums, ethnic and classical percussion,
music improvisation, creativity, and performance anxiety management around the
U.S., Canada, and Britain. Dr. Childs-Helton also teaches ethnomusicology and world music at
the university level. She also accompanies dance and movement therapy,
Susurrus Modern Dance Company, various theater productions and choruses, and plays
with Indianapolis-based "People, Paint, and Percussion," and the Rhythms of Life percussion
and dance troupe.
Sally's goal is to help others discover the joy she finds in playing music, and she will play
almost any kind of music with almost anyone. She also welcomes collaboration with other
performing and plastic artists, and encourages people to express their creativity in as
many art forms as possible. Sally creates a safe, supportive, and playful
environment for musical, creative, and personal growth.
