A performance by Heart Beat drumming group follows this workshop in the foyeroutside Room 104 (see below)
Heart Beat is a hand drumming group from a small rural city inNortheast Victoria called Wangaratta. The group is made up ofsenior drumming students from Wangaratta West Primary Schooland adults from the region who have a neurological deficit.
The aim of Heart Beat is to stimulate neuroplasticity through newlearning and rhythm. Students are partnered with the adults andwork as mentors, assisting the adults to participate in Africandrumming activities. The music teacher, Georgina Wills from
Wangaratta West Primary School, facilitates each session with thetherapeutic support of Stacey Manfield, Occupational Therapist from

Northeast Health Wangaratta and Donna Samon, Coordinator of Neuro Support Group and a private physiotherapist.The program runsevery term of the school year for an hour each week over 6 weeks.
Students display a natural empathy and an instinctive ability to support the learning of their adult partners. By adapting their playing and rhythms they enable their partners to participate asfully as possible, while gently encouraging them beyond comfortzones to achieve their therapeutic goals.
The Heart Beat program stimulates the adults on multiple levelsincluding physical, cognitive and psychosocial. In addition the
group allows students to develop communication and life skillsthat couldn’t be fostered in a traditional classroom structure.Heart Beat is a great example of a community partnership andpositive integration between a local primary school, public hospitaland the Neuro Support group. While there is evidence to supportnew learning and rhythm in neurorehabilitation, the group highlights the value of intergenerational connectedness in therapy.The bonds forged between students and adults are extraordinaryand probably what make the group so unique and successful.
Outcome measures are the smiles on all the faces!
