DRUMS FOR PEACE
LEADERSHIP
Drums for Peace is a collaborative project, bringing together visionary leadership from diverse cultures. Students are able to personally meet and work with experienced, professional artists as they discover their own potential for excellence -- both in musical and life pursuits. Our experience has shown that young people respond powerfully to adult role models who are willing to share both from their professional and personal experience.
