Rhythm-Fitness
By Drum Corp
What is it:
We come to your school for weekly sessions over 8 consecutive weeks in the term (1x per week). These 30-minute sessions have students locked in to playing group rhythms, drumstick tricks, playing along to current music, and interacting with each other in rhythm games....and all while doing coordinated jumps and movements.
The sessions are a highly engaging, fun & physically activating 30 minute blast using bucket drums, pipe sticks and pumping music. It offers a range of long-term benefits and students are invigorated & uplifted by the experience. We locate the sessions in a school hall or designated classroom. All equipment is supplied by Drum Corp. Want a final showcase for your school? Talk to us about it.
*Program can be modified to run for 6 weeks
Benefits of Rhythm-Fitness:
Rhythm-Fitness sessions stimulate multiple areas of the brain while catering to diverse learning styles, enhancing cognitive function, memory retention, and problem-solving skills. Aside from promoting engagement, creativity, and self-expression, students experience a range of long-term benefits:
- Increased focus- active learning strengthens neural connections, resulting in an increased ability to sustain attention
- Enhanced Mood and behaviour- as students learn to channel energy constructively in fun physical activity
- Mind-to-body coordination- which in turn leads to improved concentration and better overall learning outcomes
- Social interaction and skills - are enhanced through a shared activity
- Fun, Alert & Relaxed- dopamine levels are increased, which in turn enhances memory retention, cognitive function, and focus, ultimately making students smarter and more effective learners
