KIDS LOVE TO DRUM...BENEFITS FROM GROUP DRUMMING
Drumming Around programs are great for kids of all ages. Whether in a school setting, an after-school program, summer camp or church youth group, facilitated rhythm-based activities can have tremendous effects that go way beyond the musical experience. Our programs can:
*Encourage individual well-being
*Create a sense of community among students/participants
*Help to develop self-discipline
*Cultivate a healthy respect for diversity
*Encourage each child to explore his or her own unique creativity
*Broaden listening and communication skills
In addition to the benefits listed above, Recreational Music Making, specifically group drumming, has been shown in numerous studies to be a very effective tool for significantly decreasing stress and improving overall mood states. And, in today's world, stress is no longer something that affects only adults. One study, using a research based protocol called HealthRHYTHMS® Group Empowerment Drumming, demonstrated a 46% reduction in total mood disturbance in stressed out workers. This kind of change can have a significant impact on our day to day lives...All while having FUN! It does not take a huge leap of the imagination to see how this kind of approach could benefit our children.
The HealthRHYTHMS® Group Empowerment Drumming Protocol is the basis for all of the rhythm based events facilitated by Kevin Cooley. This protocol, customized and enhanced, is suitable for all sorts of groups including:
*School Programs
*After School Care
*Summer Camps
*Community Centers
*Church Youth Groups
*Private Parties
*And Much More....
