Research has shown that the thought patterns that arise whilst studying and creating music may help improve the capacity to learn math and social skills and help increase language learning and get better grades overall. Apparently, the human brain works very much like musical note patterns and the style and depth of music plays a role in this. Tano Drums is focusing on building on the success of teaching students with Additional Needs in collaboration with local schools. We have a role to play in supporting people to be able to achieve the best.
