Children and drumming
Many people ask "How old do you have to be to begin drumming lessons?" The answer - You started at age 0, learning rhythms from your mother's heartbeat! I have had students aged 5 who began to learn basic beats on the whole set and were incredibly creative. The famous drummer Buddy Rich played in vaudeville when he was very young and there is no upper age limit.
Music therapy as used when working with special needs students
Drum are a powerful took for working with both children and adults. There is something about the vibrations created that have a unique effect on both the body and the mind. The act of creating a new drum beat is a great confidence booster and opportunity to connect the logical and creative brain pathways.
We work with consultants Bridges Speech-Language Pathology and Behaviour Consultant Services to help develop and integrating music classes into the existing student IEP.
