ELDERCARE
Presented with attention to the joys and the dignity of aging populations, song-based drumming concerts are participatory for elders, family members, and service providers.

SOCIAL WORK
Kids, teens, and parents develop positive aspects of character that are generated by group music making and community interaction.
"Because of many factors that interfere with their learning, we ran Bob's program with a group of youth who were selected by the school social worker. They were able to listen, follow directions, and stay focused."

DISABILITIES
The repetitive rhythm patterns and catchy melodies of Drumming About You inspire people who have disabilities. Consumers, their families, and their service providers take part together in an accessible, musical medium that encourages socialization.
"I know that so many children with autism will continue to experience great joy and so many families will find opportunities to share their children's joy due to the wonderful experiences that Bob provides."

| ROCK & ROLL, INTERACTIVE DRUMMING JAMS |

People love to play along to rock & roll, boogie, funk, and swing music. Bob brings enough drums for everyone to use as he ignites the catchy beats and engaging melodies of songs from artists like The Beatles, Chuck Berry, and James Brown.
"I've witnessed how Bob is able to turn a room full of kids or adults ... everybody with a drum ... into a rollicking music hoot."
