HealthRhythms is a well-established evidence based creative music making expression system that is supported by several peer-reviewed scientific publications focusing on both the biological and psychological outcomes in the host subjects. This program was developed by the partnership between Remo Belli, founder of Remo Drums and Dr. Barry Bitman, MD, Neurologist, Researcher and population health innovator.

This program has produced measurable biological and psychological outcomes in participants of all ages and abilities. Previous musical experience is not required. Led by a trained facilitator, the program uses a ten-step protocol to foster creative and social engagement in a fun, collaborative environment.

For the optimum benefit it is best for participants to engage in group empowered drumming for one hour per week for six consecutive weeks. Rather than a drumming lesson, a HealthRhythms session is an opportunity for creative musical expression in a non-threating environment. Guided by the facilitator, participants progress through warm up bonding exercises to a variety of drumming exercises that require cooperation but encourage individual creativity. Group connections progressively strengthen is this supportive and healing environment.

HealthRhythms is effective for individuals facing numerous health and psychosocial challenges as well as for typical populations of all ages. It is particularly useful as a stress -reduction.

• Boosts the immune system

• Reduces stress, anger, anxiety and depression.
