San Francisco DRUMMM Community is growing!

Intergenerational DRUMMM students, families and friends gathered at JCCSF on February 23rd to bring the class session to a close with a BANG. It was a spirited celebration of community through rhythm. Now in it's 4th season, the class is growing as people catch on to the joys and benefits of group drumming.

Some participants reported that they felt "revitalized" and "empowered" by the experience. Others stated that they enjoyed "the break from stress," "creating something with the group," and "the mind-body awareness" that the drumming fostered.

DRUMMM Receives Grant!

Thanks to a grant from Oakland Fund for the Arts, DRUMMM will be working with Oakland International High School students and teachers this May to develop team building, leadership and communication skills through rhythm.

About the school: Oakland International High School is a new public school in Oakland, California that serves recently arrived immigrants, a population that has typically been underserved nationally, in California, and in Oakland. Currently, our students come from four continents, 23 countries, and between them speak 22 home languages. Our mission is to provide quality alternative education for recently arrived immigrant students in English language acquisition and preparation for college. Our diverse students become active participants in our community while learning in small groups through hands-on, interdisciplinary projects and collaboration.
