I CAN enjoy playing music. I CAN play along with on-line music and videos. I CAN join in with musicians, singers, and dancers in activities at school, at home, and in my community.
AFRO-CARIBBEAN DRUMMING is a 100% participatory activity. Kids and educators play a diversity of joyous music on curious, Afro-Caribbean drums and hand-percussion instruments. They take away incentive and skills to drum along with Afro-Caribbean songs and dances in school, at home, on-line, and in their community. Participatory music builds confidence, self-regulation, empathy, and teamwork. It instills an eagerness to learn new skills.
Professional providers and caregivers are encouraged to assist students with neurodiverse or physical challenges. Adaptive instruments and ergonomic accessories are available with an advance request to Bob.
Two caregivers are welcome to be involved as stage crew.
