Unity with a Beat!
Creating Rhythmic
Connections for Learning
Barry Bernstein
"Barry's programs merge ancient traditions with
modern technologies to explore the health benefits of drumming
and rhythm."
—Mickey Hart, Percussionist, Author
Music therapist Barry Bernstein uses percussion instruments
and rhythmic patterns combined with movement and relaxation
exercises to demonstrate how rhythm can be used to improve
one's social and communication skills, concentration, and
self-image. Novices and well-trained musicians will find
that this workshop makes participating in music a fun, successful,
and self-satisfying experience.
Hands-on experiences demonstrate basic group facilitation
principles and general hand percussion techniques. This workshop
is ideal for teachers, therapists, and other health care professionals.
