PROGRAMS
We have been blessed to drum with various populations - seniors, special needs, healthcare, at-risk youth, ministry, campers, students, veterans and many more. We tailor our programs to fit the ages, health, mobility, and most importantly, the needs of your participants. Our programs rarely look the same, but creativity, expression, wellness and JOY are found at the heart of all our sessions.
SENIOR
RHYTHMS
Experiencing, enjoying and expressing life at its fullest is one of the great blessings that we have to look forward to as we age. Sadly, many seniors struggle to embrace life as they battle health and wellness challenges that can come with aging. Drum circles encourage seniors to move beyond these challenges and celebrate life. I have been blessed to drum with active seniors, those with Alzheimer's, and seniors with physical challenges. The movement, creativity, and camaraderie expressed during drum circles inspires feelings of accomplishment and joy in seniors of all ages and abilities.
SPECIAL
RHYTHMS
Each time I drum with my exceptional friends, I am reminded of what Rejoicing Rhythms is all about - unbridled joy, uninhibited expression, and unleashed fun. I've had the privilege of drumming with the special needs community, including those with visual and hearing impairments, Down Syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy and traumatic brain injuries. I tailor my programs to maximize their development and celebrate their gifts. Their passion, energy, and joy create a special rhythm that defies limitations and defines exceptional.

Rejoicing Rhythms engages groups in an interactive drum circle that allows them to have fun while expressing their creativity and learning how to make music as a group. Participants leave the drum circle feeling excited, empowered, and energized. The drum circle is a “safe-zone” where participants can express themselves freely, without inhibitions, to create their own personal rhythms or team up to create music as a group. The rhythms, the creativity, and the freedom of drumming offers participants a unique experience.
CAMP &
HOSPITAL
RHYTHMS
We strive to encourage and engage patients through drumming, maximize their joy and minimize the anxiety often associated with their medical treatment. We hope to offer patients and their families a sense of normalcy, rest and joy in a world where hospital equipment and treatments have become their new normal. Using percussion instruments for diversion therapy and non-verbal communication lifts a child’s spirit, allowing them to express themselves without ever saying a word. No matter the age, special need, or diagnosis, drumming can serve as a catalyst for relationships where bonds are unspoken and trusted.
CORPORATE
RHYTHMS
Many in the corporate world dedicate countless hours to taking care of others, but they rarely find time to take care of themselves. Research shows that group drumming as an employee wellness strategy can produce significant improvements in mood, job satisfaction, teamwork and communication, as well as reductions in employee turnover and absenteeism. Rejoicing Rhythms can tailor employee wellness programs to accomodate the needs and schedules of your staff, not to mention create a whole lot of fun in the workplace.
SCHOOL
RHYTHMS
Music has the power to engage, relax and energize all ages. Studies show music stimulates every area of the brain. Drumming provides a healthy, natural and invaluable opportunity for self-expression while enhancing students' cognitive, social, physical and emotional skills. Rejoicing Rhythms will take students on a music-making adventure using djembes, sound shapes, ocean drums, frame drums, and rainsticks.
