I have been involved with and watched DruMeBa from when it was an idea of a possibility to an actual working model. I have seen the creativity and dedication of the team as they worked on developing an educational tool that teaches concepts of music, rhythm and beat while at the same time teaching and promoting social skills and play skills in children who have autism. It is play and learning backed by research, experimental trials and investigation. There is an instant attraction for children to the drums. Once they connect their drumming with the music and the shapes created on the display screen there are huge smiles of pleasure and pride. I am excited to see where DruMeBa will go next!
