Right Brain And Left Brain Coordination
In general the left and right hemisphere of our brain process
information in different ways. The learning and thinking process is enhanced
when both sides of the brain participate in a balanced manner. Most people,
for a multitude of reasons, tend to process information using their dominant
side (often to the detriment of their less developed side).
The bilateral nature of drumming makes it an excellent tool
for strengthening the less dominant hemisphere of the brain.

Children’s Learning Abilities
Widely published research indicates that playing musical
instruments increases children’s learning abilities. This appears especially
true of those instruments which can be played intuitively, like the drum.
Qualitative studies have shown that drumming enhances right-brain functions
such as intuition and creativity.
