Tower Road Branch

Meeting Room

Drums, shakers, and Boomwhackers! Oh my! Join an interactive and hands-on drumming experience at the library.

Let's go on a sonic adventure and experience rhythm in a whole new way! We'll focus on the sounds of different drums, shakers, and Boomwhackers, and practice turn taking, sharing, and listening skills. Our programs are completely hands-on and interactive; everyone gets to drum! We use evidence-based concepts to encourage communication and social skills in a way that's fun and high-energy. Let's get drumming!
