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

BY DRUM CORP

Approved by 100+ NSW schools

How it works:

​

Whether you’ve booked in for a one-off BLAST Session or a 4/8 week program, we come in to the school at the designated time and give each group a 30-minute session. These are all-inclusive programs. In the one-off BLAST Sessions we work through the school class by class over 1-2 days. The Instructor has students locked in to playing group rhythms, drumstick tricks, playing along to current music, and interacting with each other in rhythm games, all while doing coordinated jumps and movements. In the 4/8 week programs, students will also learn rhythmical juggling!

​

Each session is a highly engaging, fun & physically activating blast using bucket drums, pipe sticks and pumping music. Students are invigorated & uplifted by the experience. We locate the sessions in a school hall or designated space. All equipment is supplied by Drum Corp.

“This program is the only one I know of its kind! Our students have had a very positive response to the program and many have grown in confidence. Rhythm-Fitness has been a huge success at our school and I can’t rate it highly enough.”
