Free Workshop to Introduce The Rhythm Arts Project - Various Locations
The Rhythmic Arts Project (TRAP) empowers people with various disabilities to succeed in the world. It integrates drums and percussion instruments as creative learning tools that address life skills and enhance the mind, body and spirit.
TRAP is a non-profit organization based in Carpinteria, California. Eddie Tuduri founded the Rhythmic Arts Project in 1997 after a life-changing body surfing accident. In concert with many health care professionals in the years since, he developed the program as an educational tool to address basic life skills in the field of disabilities.
Eddie is a veteran rock and roller with credits ranging from The Beach Boys, Rick Nelson, and Dr. John, to Marianne Faithfull and Dwight Yoakam. Eddie has strong ties to Canada, having recorded with The Five Man Electrical Band and Chilliwack. Living in Canada, Eddie performed with The Downchild Blues Band, Rocky Rolletti and The Lincolns among others.
Long & McQuade, Sabian and Pearl Canada are proud to support Eddie's work and are presenting a free workshop to introduce this program to facilitators and program coordinators. This workshop is open to anyone interested in learning more about this wonderful program.
