Discovering Relationships Using Music, Beliefs, Emotions, Attitudes, and Thoughts
 

There is something about drumming that brings people together. For thousands of years in ancient cultures the therapeutic nature of drumming allowed people to tell stories, meditate and grow spiritually.
 

In 2003, Holyoake – a leading provider of drug and alcohol counselling and support services – developed a program called DRUMBEAT to use music, psychology and neurobiology to connect with others and build team spirit.
