1. Listening Skills – This is a group activity, in which all members participate in cooperation with others.  The art form requires that musicians learn to listen carefully and respond to both themselves and others, thus building a sophisticated set of listening skills.

2. Patience and Discipline – Music comes naturally. Playing music with others – playing WELL with others requires encouragement and support that will give kids the incentive to practice.

3. Cooperation and Group Activities – Throughout their lives, people are required to work in groups, cooperating with one another to achieve a common goal.  Participating  in these classes give students opportunities to practice developing the skills necessary for “working and playing well with others”

4. Communication Skills – Music is conversational and depends upon clear communication. Making a song with a drum is well suited to the task of teaching students how to communicate effectively and respond appropriately.

5. Drumming is accessible to every age, every ability, everyone.  Because kids can do it “right” the first time, it is fun right off the bat. We’re in the smile business….!
