Drum & Tone classes instructed by Kim Houston started Sept. 13 at Mary Montgomery School. The class will run every Wednesday evening until Oct. 4. The public are welcome to drop-in for the classes.
Drum & Tone is a total mind and body exercise. Drumming involves both the right and left sides of your brain, and also provides a cardiovascular workout.
The class involves cardiovascular exercise, which combines foot-work and drumming on an exercise ball.
The Drum & Tone class has been referred to as “sneaky exercise”, because participants are having so much fun, the class doesn’t feel like work until the participants notice they are wiping sweat out of their eyes.
Classes are open to people ages 16 and up. However, Houston says, “I have also instructed classes in a school where the ages have ranged from kindergarten to Gr. 8.”
The class size depends on the location, Houston has instructed classes with as many 32 people. She provides the drumsticks and the bases for the exercise balls to sit in. Participants are asked to bring their own exercise ball and yoga matt.
Houston has been teaching Drum & Tone classes for almost two years. She is a Certified Drums Alive Instructor, and has taught classes in Oak Lake, Souris, Rivers, Reston, Virden, Brandon, Moosomin, Sioux Valley, Melita, Hartney, and Alexander.
