HOW CAN DOING BODY PERCUSSION IN A GROUP HELP?

• A Royal College of Music study found a 10-week programme of group drumming reduces depression by 38% & anxiety by 20%

• Controlled studies published in Psychotherapy & Psychosomatics & Plos One revealed a 10-week programme of group drumming improves social resilience by 23% and mental wellbeing by 16%

• Non-strenuous physical activity, such as body percussion, can have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more. It also relieves stress, improves memory, helps you sleep better, and boosts your overall mood.
