For thousands of years and across traditional cultures extending from East to West, drumming has been used to create connection through community and to promote healing and well-being.
What traditional peoples came to know through experience, we now understand through modern science.The sounds, vibrations and rhythms of drums offer a deeply soothing and regulating effect on the human and animal brain and body.
Drums and percussion instruments can be used to activate and regulate ALL four regions of the brain. This course explains and shows you how.
Do you have your own drum or other percussion instruments? This is the course for you! This is the same course that comes with our NL Drum Connection Kit but without the drum. Earn 4.5 CE Credits (NBCC).
