Description
SMARTS Beats “Drums for ALL,” Grades K-12 and Family (Alfred Todd)
SMARTS BEATS is a percussion-based music program for PK-12 (up to the age of 21) students with developmental and behavioral challenges. It is the only percussion-based learning program for students with physical, cognitive, learning, and behavioral challenges in our region that has an academic base and is overseen by licensed arts teachers. SMARTS Beats students may have single or multiple disabilities that include physical disabilities, autism, learning disabilities, Down Syndrome, ADHD, Apraxia, Cerebral Palsy, speech and/or cognitive delays.
Join us for a good old-fashioned drum circle. Hand drums and other percussion instruments will be used to create a lively, rhythmic beat while reinforcing skills such as fine motor, patterns and order, following directions, and taking turns. Additionally, drum circles help students build community, gain confidence, and reinforce communication skills. All are welcome; ages 0-100, regardless of ability. Feel free to attend 1 session or all 8! Bring the entire family and enjoy some musical bonding time.
