Exploring the Five Components of SEL Through Rhythm and Community
At Be Natural Music Therapy and Wellness, our drumming program offers a powerful way to build social-emotional learning (SEL) skills through rhythm. For people who find it hard to express themselves with words, drumming provides a different path to personal growth and connection.
SEL includes five key areas that help build important life skills: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Our drum circles naturally work on all five of these areas in a supportive group setting.
Be Natural's drumming services give the community an engaging, expressive activity where SEL skills develop naturally through rhythm, patience, and creating music together.
