In addition to artistic expression, drumming has other benefits. It can be used, for example, to improve the coordination of one’s body parts, build self-confidence, gain a better understanding of one's own mental and physical abilities, recover from stress, exercise and develop memory, improve concentration and, above all, bring joy.

For this purpose, we’ll use a method where the drummers use their bodies to emphasise and express the rhythm, playing the drum while standing or doing dance movements and using other means of expression such as gestures, postures, facial expressions and voice. The traditional Tanzanian ngoma drum is placed on a stand and is played with two drumsticks.

By practicing this method, participants can experience immediate and immense benefits described above.

Target groups
Various target groups include anyone suffering from depression or stress, young people with social problems, school children, music students, schoolteachers, children with disabilities, employees at workplaces and so on.

Wellbeing with drums 12+ workshop is lead by it's creator musician-dancer-choreographer Arnold Chiwalala. Having lived in Finland since years, Tanzanian Arnold has been working with all age individuals and groups.
NB Age recommendation 12 years and everyone older than that.
