11. According to the National Association
of Music Merchants (NAMM)
Recreational Music Making (RMM) is
defined as, "Recreational Music Making
refers to playing musical instruments
alone or in a group without the goals of
mastery or performance."

12. Recreational Music Making encompasses
enjoyable, accessible and fulfilling
music-based activities that unite people
of all ages regardless of their
challenges, backgrounds, ethnicity,
ability or prior experience.

16. Recreational Music Making is distinct
from "regular" music making as its
purpose is the enjoyment and well-
being of the participant and the group,
not an artistic or aesthetic outcome.

17. Of particular importance is the fact
that participation does not require
talent or training. Exemplary
performance is not the motive - fun
and relaxation are the key drivers.

18. Corporate drumming and drum circles
bring Recreational Music-Making to
people regardless of musical
experience.

19. Substantial research has documented
numerous health benefits associated
with various strategies that reduce the
perception of stress, increase sense of
control, and improve mood states.

20. Nurturing/support, camaraderie, verbal
and non-verbal self expression,
exercise, imagery, and spirituality have
considerable bio- psycho-social impact
on diverse populations.

21. A unique combination of these elements
is encompassed by RMM, which has
been defined as “enjoyable, accessible,
and fulfilling group music-based
activities that unite people of all ages
regardless of their challenges,
backgrounds, ethnicity, ability or prior
experience.

23. From exercise, nurturing, social
support, bonding, and spirituality to
intellectual stimulation, heightened
understanding, and enhanced capacity
to cope with life’s challenges, the
benefits of RMM extend far beyond
music.

24. RMM ultimately affords unparalleled
creative expression that unites our
bodies, minds, and spirits.” According
to the Merriam Webster dictionary,
the term recreational is derived from
the Latin root, “recreatio,” which
means “restoration to health.”

25. Group drumming and keyboard
interventions have been reported to
improve mood states and socialization.

26. The RMM program selected for this
investigation is based upon Group
Empowerment Drumming, a
comprehensive multifaceted protocol
with documented effects on cell-
mediated biological stress pathways.

27. Coupled with Clavinova keyboard
accompaniment and a unique series of
Mind-Body Wellness Clavinova
Exercises, this protocol-based RMM
intervention was designed to establish a
relaxed, non-threatening environment
for the development of non-music
based outcomes as noted in the above
RMM definition.
