Noah Plotkin

FOUNDER

About:

Noah was born and raised on Chicago’s North Shore into a loving family who appreciates and supports the arts as a vocation in which to be proud. At the age of four, Noah began playing drums, however his mother is quite certain he was keeping time in utero during a Pat Metheny Group concert a month before he was born. Remarkably, beginning at age 13, Noah’s first private drum teacher was Paul Wertico - the Grammy Award winning drummer for the Pat Metheny Group - who was playing that very evening when Robin first felt Noah's rhythmic movement.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Noah has travelled throughout the US making music, and to countries around the world including Brazil, Holland, Canada, Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Israel, China & Japan. Noah is the creator and promoter of Highland Park’s much acclaimed Food Truck Thursdays/Music in Park series held for the past 6 summers in Jens Jensen Park in Ravinia. Noah is the founder of Life Rhythms Inc. Established in 2013, Life Rhythms provides song and rhythmic music wellness therapy services to guests living in memory loss centers, Parkinson patients, children with disabilities and for private individuals across the Chicago area.

Throughout his life, Noah has recognized the power of music to unite people of all ages and backgrounds to build strong and sustainable communities. He believes that music is a universal language that reaches across all cultural and demographic boundaries. It is in this spirit that Noah hopes to bring awareness of rhythmic music as a complementary tool to enable people of all ages to create and maintain good health. Noah’s Jam Jam Bourrée class is a fun, engaging music program for families of all ages and backgrounds!
