Next Stage Drumming - Therapeutic Drumming

Private therapeutic drumming programs for ages 6 and up (in person in Fuquay-Varina or virtual). Programs are customized, evidenced-based, and highly effective. Backed by science, easy to do, and loads of fun! No musical experience necessary! If you can count, you can drum.

This is NOT a drum lesson, African drumming or a drum circle. Programs are between 8 and 12 weeks in length, with the option to continue on a monthly basis. A beautiful hand drum is included, along with weekly practice exercises.

Benefits include improved focus and listening skills, improved coordination, connection, and confidence, and better rhythm recognition which leads to better reading. Some students have even experienced a major boost in their grades!

Owner Dori Staehle is a former educational consultant and private tutor, and a gifted and ADHD specialist. She is the only certified drum therapist in NC and has worked with thousands of kids and adults in the past 10 years, including those with special needs. Dori is an approved provider with Alliance Health and NC-SEAA.

Sessions are held either virtually or at Evangel Church.
