Drumming

One of the most special volunteer led classes we have experienced at the Center was therapeutic drumming. The photo and article shown was published in the nationally distributed Drumming Magazine. Students thoroughly enjoyed the class. And, it has been shown in medical research that drumming definitely has therapeutic effects.

Drumming is a complex composite intervention with the potential to modulate specific neuroendocrine and neuroimmune parameters. There are currently over 20 peer-reviewed articles on drumming listed in MedLine and over 1000 citations on music therapy.
