Develop Social & Leadership Skills
As an alternative to today’s competitive educational environment, Drum Cafe provides an exciting and proven lesson in how a diverse group of people can work together towards a common goal. Drumming breaks down barriers to learning created by student cliques, and helps children and teens interact with those outside of their group in a non-competitive way. Through drumming, students develop a new outlook on school when they experience themselves as part of a larger community.
Overview
Below find a list of the School & Non-profit Programs that we offer. Drum Cafe’s educational programs are designed to encourage students to develop their social and leadership skills first through imitation, then through individual expression, and finally through group cooperation. Contact Us to create a program specific to your needs.
Drum Cafe offers a captivating learning experience, specifically designed for children from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Our program expertly weaves elements of social studies, geography, language arts, and mathematics in an engaging and interactive performance that is nothing less than thrilling.
For groups from twenty to eight hundred young people, everyone is provided with a drum. Children experience the benefit of kinesthetic learning through the act of drumming. They learn to play the Djembe Drum from West Africa while understanding how to cooperatively create rhythm.
Drum Cafe’s program teaches the importance of listening, and of demonstrating respect through cooperative effort. Our program successfully motivates children to learn while complementing existing academic curriculum,. Time and again, teachers and administrators have told us that they were impressed at how well the children remained focused for the entire interactive activity.
The role of teachers goes beyond just covering academics. Teachers are also models of healthy cooperation and team synergy. Often a teacher’s actions speak louder than the academic content they are teaching.
To be effective, teachers need quality time that is focused on team development. Drum Cafe’s cooperative team building activities help to alleviate stress while enhancing school community spirit.
Corporate organizations spend thousands of dollars each year on team development to help their organizations run effectively, and to ensure commitment from their employees.
Drum Cafe’s experiential program does the same for school faculty in the context of the educational environment.
The program format is similar to the Drum Cafe corporate program, but with a special focus for schools.

“To say the event was outstanding would be an understatement. The team led us through a dynamic, organized session with high energy and humor. This was like no team building we had ever experienced before. Our participants were engaged and energized, and the team building “broke down barriers” in our group to prepare us for the 3 days ahead. Some initial feedback from our participants: “This was the best team building event I have ever attended.” “My favorite part of the past three days was the drumming event.” We had 100% enthusiastic group participation. And even those people we had not expected to participate joined in with excitement.”
