Memories, Music, & Motion - 50+ Drums

This one-hour gentle exercise drumming class creates a positive and enriching space where older adults (especially for but not limited to those living with memory loss & their carers) can thrive through music and movement. Participants may choose to stand or remain seated, and can select from drumsticks, percussion mallets, or pool noodles to suit their abilities and comfort level. The class is designed to be both structured and flexible, offering rhythmic activities that encourage memory recall, improve coordination, and provide gentle physical exercise. The supportive atmosphere nurtures social engagement and self-expression. Caregivers (if applicable) benefit alongside participants by experiencing shared moments of joy, reduced stress, and the opportunity to connect through meaningful, positive interaction in a supportive community setting.
