Benefits of Rhythm and Drumming!
Drumming is a healthy way to release stress, regulate emotions and strengthen the immune system. It combines wellness, celebration and community building. It brings out their inner rhythm and adds new energy to their lives. Drumming is an alternative form of non-verbal communication, helping individuals with a range of social communication difficulties.
What's in the Drum Prodigy programme?
Students will be introduced to rhythmic activities, vocalisations, sensory percussions. They will also learn to play on percussions using hands and mallets to produce beats with various entrainment exercises to develop their musicality.
