Myron also does drum clinics. Music therapy has been used in a variety of cultures for centuries. The practice of using drums to aid in healing is as viable as the now popular recreational therapy. Both target range of motion, coordination and applied repetition to gain strength. Drumming creates focus of attention, memory skills, hand-eye coordination and concept development. The added sound aspect of using drums is soothing and builds self-confidence as the patient realizes they have created music that had never been heard before. Where no previous music skills were present, performed drum rhythms comfort, relieve anxiety, and engage the individual in a group activity with instant gratification. Hand percussion promotes strength in hands, wrists, arms and shoulders while addressing mental awareness through ""time keeping"" with the music.
Adding music therapy to a school curriculum is not a novel idea, but has been eliminated in the past due to budget issues. Its a proven fact that students do better in math and with problem-solving skills when exposed to music. Myron`s Drum Workshop is prepared to offer his services to make this unique program affordable to even the smallest venue. A facility may acquire a minimum amount of inexpensive hand percussion instruments and MDW may supply drums to use in each session. Or the facility may wish to supply and store their own equipment to be used at any time for its students to enjoy and have MDW instruct faculty members in the playing of such equipment to full benefit..
