DAY ignites curiosity. Every student plays. They are excited by hands-on participation in a song-based drumrollick that has musical form, captivating beats, catchy melodies, exhilarating harmonies, intriguing rhythm patterns, and positive lyrics in English and Spanish.Kids get their heart and hands around Bob"s curious and colorful cargo of age-appropriate drums. To ensure equality, they each get the same type of drum.
They take away social-emotional skills for self-regulation, teamwork, and following directions. Bob"s interactive drumming creates an experience of success that fosters joy, esteem, and confidence. To increase their agility for communication and for rhythms of reading, Bob leads kids to play drumming accompaniments to songs by teaching them how to mirror spoken-word patterns on the drums. Grade-to-grade, the patterns increase in challenge to amplify agility. The activities build gross and fine motor skills. They reinforce capacity-enhanced, synaptic learning. DRUMMING ABOUT YOU is engaging and accessible to students with developmental, physical, and multiple disabilities. Sensory-friendly instruments and adaptive accessories can be provided with advance notice.
