Trinity College London Teacher Directory
After searching for some time for the best course to teach my students, the Trinity Rock & Pop course came head and shoulders above the rest. Teaching great, famous, classic and popular tracks along to high quality backing tracks makes this a really fun course to teach and my students love it.
Having been contacted by Trinity College, it is my great honour to be listed as a teacher of the Rock & Pop Drums course on the Trinity College website Teacher Directory.
Take a look at my listing here: https://teacher-directory.trinitycollege.com/teachers/music/gabriel-thornton-bs82de
Drumming improves behaviour and brain function
Scientists found that learning to play the instrument tuned brain networks in autistic adolescents in as little as eight weeks.
Results showed that participants who improved their drumming skills showed fewer signs of hyperactivity, inattention and repetitive behaviours and demonstrated better control of their emotions. MRI scans also revealed changes to their brain function which, according to the study, were linked to overall behaviour.
The team intend to expand their drumming research and are looking to collaborate with schools or organisations working with people with ADHD, dyspraxia, dementia, and traumatic brain injury, and can be contacted at clemburkedrummingproject.org.
