For students who struggle in academic subjects and emotional regulation, drumming offers an opportunity for students to shine. New findings show that drumming is also highly effective for special education classrooms. With drumming, one can participate as much or as little as one likes, yet still, be engaged and feel part of the group which makes it an all-inclusive, non-verbal, and self-contained activity with a therapeutic dimension involving such elements as positive affirmations, emotional coping strategies, and guided interaction with rhythmic activities serving as a metaphor for life, the drumming activity is then followed by reflection and meaningful dialogue—without the stigma of therapy. To help support our high-risk students we are looking for a variety of healing sound percussion drums. The nested drums store perfectly for the classroom and djembe drums will help provide a variety of sounds our drum circles. Shared creative experiences offer organic opportunities for meaningful dialogue. Rhythmic strategies can be utilized easily in classrooms as a kinesthetic tool for facilitating learning, cooperative behavior, and a positive classroom environment.
