Summer camp is almost over. Yesterday, my husband took his band to the school for the second time to play a few songs for the children, and then let the kids line up and get a shot at playing his drums and the other band member's bass guitar and electric guitar. These kids eat this up. They also love the microphone and many stood and sang into it. These are children with autism, mind you. They THRIVE around music and instruments. My husband just intuitively knew that bringing his band and especially letting the kids play the big professional drum set would be good for them. He is great with the kids.
Then we found this site that is called Drums and Disabilities. Here are the links if you are interested in checking out how drumming can be part of a therapeutic program. We are just learning about it ourselves.

This looks great! I'll have to see if there is a chapter in Cleveland?
This is very cool. We have always felt that music was very important in our boys lives. Let us know what you find out.
I have always thought that those big Japanese Drums that you beat on with big sticks (not sure of the name) would be perfect for a kid working on anger issues.
