For centuries, ancient cultures have used hand drumming to bring people together. DRUMBEAT draws on this wisdom and the latest research to create the innovative, evidence-based program. It is the world’s first structured learning program using music, psychology and neurobiology to reconnect with ourselves and others.
At the core of the program, DRUMBEAT is about healthy human relationships, and has universal application to many cultures and backgrounds.
Each session focuses on different relationship themes such as identity and social responsibility, values, dealing with emotions, peer pressure, harmony, communication and teamwork. Analogies are used to create awareness of the links between social skills developed as part of a music group and those required to form healthy and supportive relationships with others. A high proportion of the program is based upon experiential learning as participants engage in a cooperative process. The program also utilises group discussions around analogies between music and relationships, as well as drawing on participants’ own life experiences .
