The Effect of Learning to Drum on Brain Function

The BBC have highlighted the health benefits of learning to drum. Thanks to BBC presenter Owain Wyn Evans whose 24 hour charity drumathon has put drumming in the news. The scientific study published in 2021 by Professor Steve Williams et al shows the benefits of drumming in brain activity and behaviour in children.

This particular study was of teenagers and children with learning issues but the benefits are available to everyone of any age.
