T.R.A.P. Learning
The Rhythm Arts Project 

(TRAP) embraces a unique methodology that encompasses rhythm as a modality to address basic life, learning, and academic skills. TRAP provides its students with the
tools and confidence needed to succeed in the world. By listening to the individual as part of our approach, we practice person-centered principles in everything we do.

This educational program is the perfect mix of educational objectives and artistic experiences. It is designed to be fun and engaging but also helps develop an increased mastery of coordination, concentration, and educational accomplishment. The TRAP program has also been successful in addressing cognitive, emotional, and physical disabilities. Through customized exercises, the program teaches and enhances skills such as: Focus, Memory, Socialization, Sequencing, Sign Language, Laterality, Motor Control, Spatial Awareness, and Communication.

Drum Talk
Communication of emotion has focused primarily on the neural mechanisms of communicating via speech, despite the fact that emotion is also communicated through nonverbal cues and silence. The communication of emotion is a bidirectional process, including both sensitivity to the emotional cues of others as well as the expression of internal emotional states to others. Drumming is an ancient approach that uses rhythm to promote healing, connectedness, and self-expression. Research shows that drumming promotes wellness, enhances awareness, and releases emotional trauma. Together we will explore the voiceless communication process and identify the benefit of communicating with patience through the process of rhythm.
