[Virtual] Drumming for Wellness and Fun
by Mary Oliver on Wednesday evenings
Service Description
In this class we’ll explore how rhythm, movement, and sound can help us connect to ourselves and others, even through Zoom! Each week, we’ll use body percussion, homemade instruments, and found sounds to play rhythms together and discover new ways to express ourselves. What if you don’t have a percussion instrument? No worries! Lots of things around your house can be turned into an instrument. Can we really play music together on Zoom? Yes! Can drumming really help me feel calm? Yes, to that question, too! In each session, we’ll practice techniques like deep breathing and humming to help calm our bodies and minds. Come and join us as we drum for wellness and fun!
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
