steveatcampDrumming for Your Life Institute is dedicated to using the power of rhythm to help children and youth develop the emotional, academic, and social skills they need to succeed in school and in life.

The Institute's goal, under the leadership of founder Steven Angel, is to bring the benefits of drumming to schools, juvenile justice facilities, cancer and addiction rehabilitation centers.

SCHOOLS...
steveatschool

The Reading and Rhythmsm program (held during or after school) uses rhythm to increase fluency. Students use rhythm as a way to move through words. They are inspired to read when they hear and feel the rhythm. A stronger connection between the reader, story and teacher is created.

More about our Reading and Rhythm Program

The Rhythm of Learningsm program uses rhythm to establish a classroom management system, giving teachers the tools to unify and focus students. 

This program promotes active listening, increases individual participation and learning capacity, builds community and dispels stress and disruptive behaviors.

“My students have an increased level of focus and concentration. Class assignments and test scores are dramatically improving.”    Evelyn Soo, 5th grade teacher, National Board Certified

JUVENILE JUSTICE...

The Life Skills Drumming Program (aka The Rhythm of Transformation) uses rhythm to help youths cope with emotions and improve self-esteem. Teens learn to maintain control over anger and impulsive behavior in order to connect and communicate with others, and envision a more positive life.

“I came into this program ‘mad’ at the world. But now, life is so ‘easy’ and I’m thankful for this program.” N.W., incarcerated youth.

ADDICT REHABILITATION CENTERS...

The Rhythm of Discovery program guides addicts to discover and confront the emotions that drive their addictions, while they learn to master the connection between mind and body. Drumming offers a way to safely express negative feelings and transform them into positive experiences through a unique device called Rhythmic Codingsm.

CANCER FACILITIES...

The Rhythm of Empowerment program assists patients fighting cancer by reducing health-related stress, and feelings of helplessness caused by chronic illness
