The British journal “APPROACHES: Music Therapy & Special Music Education” will publish an article entitled “Effects of Community Drum Music on Generalized Anxiety in Teenagers” by Jackson State University music professor David Akombo, Ph.D.
Akombo will also conduct a workshop and symposium at the Hawaii International Music Educators Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii, in February. His workshop is entitled “Let the Band Go Loose: Arranging African Music for Bands.”
Great idea. Yes, I have started collaborating with the Band Director and he is thrilled about the addition of African tunes to the Sonic’s repertoire. Dr. Akombo
Have you communicated with the Sonic Boom band director? Maybe creating a special program with your style of music for a classic football game or homecoming, could not hurt. Great job, help JSU too.
