Drumming Classes and Events

Drumming classes, events,
and virtual programs for kids, adults, and organizations!

A hand drumming class or event is a great way for your group, company, or family to beat stress and have some fun! These are just fun classes with some therapeutic elements thrown in, not drum therapy sessions, which go deeper. We always close out with a rockin’ tune that fits the age group or event!

Hand drums are provided for in-person classes and events. Social distancing will be observed. Drums are always disinfected!

For virtual classes and events: You can just tap on your legs, your desk, a drum pad, or whatever you have handy. You’ll learn easy beats and rhythms and fun exercises to help you focus and reduce anxiety and stress, while boosting healing and your immune system. Some mentoring, encouragement, affirmations, and fun homework assignments will be included. I offer different themes at different times. Contact me if you’d like to set something up for your group or organization!
