Description:

(Ages 18+) Come and learn how to play and read rhythms through hand drumming. No experience required.

Learn classic rhythms found in rock, jazz, and world music. We will primarily use hand drums, but also incorporate stomping and other body percussion. We will also play along with some popular music.

Exploring rythms through hand drumming, clapping, and stomping has several benefits. One of the amazing things science has discovered about drumming is its ability to activate and stimulate the brain to improve clarity of thinking and memory. Drumming also provides:.

• Exercise
• Pain Reduction
• Reduces Stress
• Relieves tension 
• Enhances Mood
• and Lowers Negative Feeling.

Hand drums and other percussion instruments are available for use during class, but you are welcome to bring your own if you have them, as well.
