Introducing Off Beat - Beating Anxiety through Drumming!
Do you want to learn from drummers in bands that are smashing out number 1 hits this year? Do you want to find ways to manage your anxiety?
If the answer to either of the questions above is yes then our new drum course is for you!
Off Beat is an 8-week introductory drumming workshop designed to help balance, manage anxiety, gain confidence and feel grounded through group drumming lessons. Each hour-long lesson will be co-led by professional drummers Hayley Cramer (Pop Evil) and Sian Monaghan (The Wandering Hearts, Jessie Buckley, Stick in the Wheel, She Drew the Gun, China Crisis) and trained counsellor Amy Walshe.
OffBeat is run by Totally Flawed events and to celebrate the launch they are offering the chance to win a free taster lesson on their by signing up to their newsletter.
Totally Flawed founder Amy Walshe says:
“The pandemic has seen the number of people requesting professional help for mental health issues such as anxiety rise substantially in the past few months. Group drumming has been proved to help with feeling grounded, accepted, and safe which are all key to tackling feelings of anxiety. We hope our course will help educate people in anxiety and how to manage it whilst also giving people the opportunity to learn a new skill and have some fun!”
Students will learn everything from how to hold sticks to basic drum patterns as well as gaining a deeper understanding of how to manage anxiety and the way drumming skills can help navigate those turbulent days. Signposting services will also be available following the lessons to help direct you to any further support you need regarding your mental health.
The first round of Off Beat will run for 8 weeks from 19th May – July 7th, every Wednesday from 7.30pm-8.30pm. Lessons will be in person at Platform Islington, Hornsey Road Baths, 2 Tiltman Place, London N7 7EE
