Percussion discussion

Using music can be an effective form of therapy on so many levels. Different types of music affects our bodies in different ways; some helps calm the mind, allowing the amygdala to release its grip on the body. Some music excites us and gets the heart to pump blood faster.

Percussion is a great way to change the way we do counselling. It can be used to return the heart beat to a steady, slower rhythm, as a tool for communication and even just for a good laugh. On our Percussion discussion page I will put up some ideas on how to make and use percussion instruments in your own home so that you can use them at your own pace or we can use them together during remote sessions.
