A few objectives which Miss Tarala and Mrs. Knysz English classes are pursuing for trimester A, are large and small group dynamics, public speaking, non-verbal communication, listening and following directions, and inclusion. One avenue used to achieve these objectives was group drumming. According to http://www.communityinrhythm.com group drumming builds bridges while fostering nurturing, support, camaraderie, self-respect and tolerance. Group drumming opens doors for meaningful self-expression when words alone limit our ability to move beyond perceived obstacles.
