Josh Robinson to Drum the Value of Music at the First Up Annual Conference as a Keynote Speaker

Philadelphia, PA (March 20, 2025) – On April 26, 2025, at the First Up Annual Conference, Josh Robinson, professional percussionist, teaching artist and drum facilitator, will deliver a keynote speech on the topic of how educators can integrate music, particularly drumming, into their classrooms. At the highly anticipated conference being held April 25-26 at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue, Robinson will engage the audience in an interactive drumming session and create rhythmic mantras to reinforce key messages; samples of these from past lessons include: “Hard work, confidence, gratitude, joy”; “Grit, connection, authenticity”.  These activities are designed to inspire participants while demonstrating a technique that can be replicated in the classroom.
