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.
