There is a table below of the dates of our other training in therapeutic drumming during 2008 and 2009. But first – other news.
We have moved.
Yes – we have moved out of t’Mill and now have accommodation with The Art Organisation in Nottingham. This is a charity group who “do up” derelict buildings and rent out the space to people involved in the arts. At the moment we are working hard to get the place fit for habitation. This has involved first of all persuading the pigeons to move out.
Drum Circles
We will still be holding regular community circles – as always based on the idea that ALL are welcome. Some will be at our new base – others will be at the community centre in Stapleford . dates to be posted on the website – or let us know if you would like a list sending to you.
Other Training
Last year we expanded our range of training into creative therapeutic work. We hope to continue that after Christmas and add in various other things such as, continuing professional development for therapists, counsellors and other professionals: personal development workshops and community music making, Watch this space.
Sharing space
We have one room which we won’t be using all of the time. It is suitable for use as a counselling room and has various other possibilities. We are willing to consider other people using that room. This is a city centre location – just next to the rail station and the tram terminus.
You want to run workshops?
There are opportunities to run workshops either within our programme or as an independent practitioner with our support

The guided learning hours are made up mainly of attendance at group training sessions but can also support tutorial guidance and other activities. The proportion of these activities will depend on the needs of the particular group.
Students will also be required to undertake a considerable amount of personal study beyond these hours.
The courses build on each other. It is necessary to complete each level successfully before progressing to the next.
There may appear to be some repetition in the programme due to the fact that similar material will be being studied at deepening levels.
The TDF aims to promote the benefits of drumming as a form of therapy through training and the sharing of information
