More info about TRAP (The Rhythmic Arts Project): TRAP (www.trap-learning.org) is an award-winning 501(c)(3) non-profit with a program that has been successful in addressing cognitive, emotional, and physical disabilities using a percussion-based curriculum. The lessons of the TRAP curriculum include hundreds of ideas compiled over 18 years with therapists, doctors, teachers, administrators and experts in the field of Intellectual Difference and Disabilities. TRAP facilitators give participants the tools and confidence to succeed in the typical world while teaching the typical world understanding and compassion. Through inventive exercises, the program teaches and enhances skills such as: maintaining focus, using memory, socialization, turn taking, sequencing, sign language, Laterality, developing leadership, recognition and use of numbers, shapes, and colors, spatial awareness, fine and gross motor coordination, following instructions, and communication. Group teaching occurs in an environment that is supportive, cooperative and fun, and members naturally develop confidence and a positive self-image. TRAP is continually being recognized for its work on a national level. A few examples of the awards it received are: In April 2002 TRAP received the Citation Award for Therapeutic Recreation. In 2004 received the prestigious Editors Achievement Award from Modern Drummer Magazine in recognition of “Outstanding Contribution to the Drum/ Percussion Community.” In 2005, The Michael Landon Award was presented to TRAP by the California Governor’s Committee, for accurately portraying people with disabilities in the media. In 2008 TRAP received the Dr. Gerald Burday Professional Excellence Award presented by The Delaware County ARC. In 2009 TRAP received the Citizens for Peaceful Resolutions Earth Charter Award for its commitment to youth education and outreach. In 2011 TRAP received The Music for Life Alliance Award as awarded by Muriel Anderson and the Eric A. Bergquist Award for excellence in Education in the percussive arts. The
