Participants in Easterseals NH’s Adult Day Program in Rochester, NH, recently had the unique opportunity to learn traditional African-style drumming from Randy Armstrong, a renowned performer of traditional instruments from around the world. Armstrong is teaching a six-week class from Nov. 12 through Dec. 17, sharing the mental and physical wellness benefits of drumming, including improvements in motion, memory, and articulation, with seniors in the program. Participants enjoy learning new musical techniques and moving to the rhythm—and they can be heard singing the songs they’ve learned long after the class ends.
