Hello Drummers 🥁

This week we’re thinking about independence!

Not the kind of independence where you leave home and start having to wash your own socks, but the four-way independence of your body, where you can get your arms and legs to start doing different things separately from each other!

Here’s a few simple things to try:

◦ Rub your tummy while you pat your head.
◦ Tap one foot on the floor - one,two. Tap the other foot - three, four. Now bring the hands in, get your dominant hand counting the one, while the non-dominant hand counts two, three, four. Keep going!
◦ Brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand (so, if you’re right-handed, use your left hand, or vice-versa if you’re a leftie!). Don’t try this when you’re wearing a suit though, it can get really messy!
◦ Start doing other things with your non-dominant hand! Try opening doors - it’ll feel weird at first, but the more you practice the better you’ll get. Eat your cereal with the wrong hand at breakfast - just make sure you have a napkin at the ready!

Now isn’t that more fun than washing your socks?

Have a great week, everyone! 🥁🥁🥁
