Get a CNS brain shunt--- then get busy w/ shunt, medical
outcomes, and tons of neuroscience research.
Pick up an instrument, start playing, and research
& write about your experiences.

WHERE DOES MUSIC & RHYTHM COME FROM?
1. Time, space, movement, planetary, and gravitational influences (proprioception) on us – my theory on basketball.
2. Sounds of Earth, nature, birds, animals, accepted sounds and meaning (Jaws), development of language
3. Mimesis - Vocal intonations, expression, imitating others, entertainment, communications
4. Thought intent (pre-frontal cortex) – thought, communication, and expression; rhythm use likely began in mating rituals, social celebrations, war, games, etc.
5. Man made sounds, musical instruments, equipment, formation of established sounds eg. knock on door, rhymes and popular songs, Jaws theme
* Two primary forms of music today: primal low-brain expression, forebrain story-telling

EVOLUTION OF DRUM COMMUNICATIONS
1. Animals and humans learned that when sound is ↑ in volume or tempo it is closing in and/or is ↑ in importance, calling attention, where slow or melodic sound tends to be friendly. Fast or repetitive sound tends to be forceful or threatening. Augmented sounds are appealing, and make us curious and/or happy.
2. Human sounds and drums evolved to disseminate information.
3. Sight, sound, and body movement patterns, along with words, eventually formed human language we know today.
4. Emotional “intonations” in words is termed “prosody.”
5. Since drum rhythms come from the “body,” they activate the “prosody” center of the brain in Wernicke’s area, and language centers in the pre-frontal cortex.
6. Rhythmic patterning and imitation is termed “mimesis.”
7. Correlation of audible patterning in brain waves to improved cognition: Mozart Effect
8. Modern day sports and music keep us connected to our past.

EXAMPLES OF MUSICAL RHYTHM
1. At a very young age, we are able to recognize sound as: Coming toward us. Moving away from us. Talking to us. Posing a question? Calling out! Frightening us. Or appealing to us.
2. Bass & Clapping BWE Exercise: heightens “theta level” brain waves
3. Walk and movement mirror heart beat of 1-2, 1-2, pushing off from one foot, land/turn on other. Marching and running are 1-2, 1-2 and 1-2-3-4.
4. Our brains (and body) have the unique ability to recognize and think in terms of patterns. Take these random letters/no’s:
“XEZAEI34SSC.”
Say as a pattern, letters/no’s in bold emphasis:
“X E Z (pause) A E I (pause) 3 4 S S C”

Participants play structured and free-form rhythms w/ goal of reaching a common mindset, or brain wave entrainment (BWE), enabling group learning and tasking. Led today by trained facilitators & guidelines.
To succeed in life, you must be “engaged” in what is happening around you, develop strategies to help your mind stay focused and engaged in what you are doing, rising above adversity and distraction. Group drumming is the platform where you learn to engage the rhythms of your brain, and engage your work and others around you.

HEALTH APPLICATIONS OF DRUM CIRCLES
Socialization: confidence, mental health, intimacy, outreach, recreation, dispute resolution *,**
Movement disorders: senior health, disorders, fitness, youth activities, sports training *
Sensory integration: SPDs, cognitive development, music therapy*
General Health & Wellness, Stress Reduction** Biofeedback: Management of chronic illness, cancer** BWE/Trance work: Behavioral modification*, **

DRUMMING FOR THE BRAIN: SIX KEY AREAS
Cognition/proprioception: my discovery was intuitive w/ hand/finger movements to sustain mental focus during driving, akin to Ricky Henderson base-stealing, broad IQ health benefits. Fingers, hands & body rhythms boost brain focus and mental output
Movement/coordination: my discovery was intuitive, my choreographed movements by taping on hips, legs, counters, and engaged surfaces, play to move, SCI workshop, today use of basketball (likely aid autism).
SI Therapy (In cases of SPDs): results were found in my 2002 SI study, was not drumming at the time, made therapeutic audiotape, later learned that drumming was aiding my SI tolerance, also benefits in learning (likely aid autism)
Socialization: team-building, corporate, family, youth, community
Language Development: learning of foreign language, non-verbal communications
BWE/Trance States: team-building, health & disease mgt., behavioral modification, integrative medicine, mental health

Group BWE occurs p/ 8-10 min.
Play of slow bass rhythms are conducive to Theta brain waves & trance states, good for team-building and behavioral modification.

STEAM3 CLASS DISCUSSION -- OCTOBER 6, 2011Circadian Rhythms (sleep wake cycle) are regulated by the
Pineal Gland in the Brain.
Circadian Rhythms follow an approx. 24-hr cycle and are found in each living cell.
Music follows mathematics. Instruments + Arrangement + Variables = Balanced Sound
Your Skills today are often due to Genetic Predispositions (GP), skills that are passed on from earlier ancestors, dating back almost 1M years. Modern Civilization mostly deals with last 150-200 years.
Discover your GPs thru Drumming and similar Free-Thinking activities.
Create a 20-sec Elevator Pitch on “who you are” for your career prospects.

A Drum Circle is a conversation: People (and students) are attracted to things that are Real and Cool. This Principal drives Participation and Dynamics within the Drum Circle.
Drumming is Trusting your Instincts, Connecting with Others, Following the Cool, Engaging your Intent, Vocal Intonations, and Tempo (Rhythm).
Students Entrain to their Teacher’s Intent, Tempo, Vocal Intonations, and Brain Waves. Know these and Engage your Students. Introduce Rhythmic Games & Participation.10/5

NEED FOR SPD “AUDIO STD” FOR AUDIO & NOISE BROADCASTS IN PUBLIC PLACES: MONITOR SOUND AS A “TRIGGER”
Audio & noise emissions cause behavioral and medical
sequela in 10-20% of population.
Need for an accepted standard or algorithm to RATE all audio & noise emissions for SI processing trigger potential, covering:
- volume, - EQ, - rhythmic pattern & syncopation, - pitch frequency variation, - and percent of wave form at peak EQ.
Worst = TV commercials, skateboards, machinery, loud music, busy places.
