Why bucket drumming?
     √  Make new friends
     √  High-energy
​     √  Encourages creation
     √  Fosters teamwork
     √  No musical background required


A note from Dr. Taylor - 
We need live music more than ever!  The COVID pandemic has certainly had a huge negative impact on my emotional and mental health.  I know many of you feel the same.  I strongly believe that our youth need community music making experiences to help them build friendships, build confidence in themselves and feel that they are valued and appreciated as part of a greater whole.  The world needs their creative spirits to shine and for me, bucket drumming is a perfect way to foster this!
