Background

About Dan Reiff

30 years experience playing drums, including recording and international touring.* Over 15 years experience teaching private drum lessons.* 10years experience as a drum circle facilitator with a variety of clients including schools, corporate team building, older adults, adults with disabilities, and more. I am a working musician and instructor/facilitator. My goal is to bring rhythm and music to people through performance, and instruction. Through performance, I hope to make an audience connect with the music on stage. Through private lessons and group facilitation, I hope to help people get in touch with their core rhythmic self, while developing technique and skills. The health benefits of solo and group drumming, well known in traditional and historical culture, are now being backed my research and science. Drumming can be an outlet for stress, anxiety and other emotional pressures, and provides an alternative form of communication for those struggling to do so. I believe everyone is ingrained with rhythm, and can learn to play in a band, take part in a community drum circle, or participate in any communal musical experience.'Rhythm is the soul of life'- Babatunde Olatunji
