SoCalDrumParty.com hosts drum circles for summer camps, after school programs, fairs and festivals, parties and other events. We are seeking a fun and friendly Board Certified Music Therapist to help with a particular client, and possibly more in the future.
Ideally your first or second instrument is drums or percussion, and you are familiar with drumming and drum circles in a therapeutic environment. Playing guitar/keys and singing is a very welcome addition.
You will start out by subbing these two classes as needed- Mondays 4-5:30pm in La Puente and Fridays 12:30-1:15 in West Covina. We'll head towards you taking these classes over every week.
Pay will be between $75 and $100 per session depending on experience. Sessions are between 45 minutes and 1.5 hrs.
Duties:
- Facilitate 45-minute drum circle sessions focused on social interaction and fun. Participants are special needs adults with a range of mental and physical ability.
- Teach 45-minute drum ensemble classes for elementary and middle school kids. These kids are in a program for youth with anxiety, depression and other mental health situations. They are great kids, just a bit reserved and lacking in confidence. They're getting a lot more outgoing and bold now.
- Discuss therapeutic goals and plan strategies with me, the company owner.
- Possibly be available for other groups or events around LA, OC or IE.
