Those who want to relieve some stress, or simply have fun learning a new instrument and creating beats, can join in a drumming rhythm therapy workshop.
The African Drumming Rotorua group is holding a free open workshop of rhythm therapy with professional tutor Jaqui Barrett for the community.
African Drumming Rotorua organiser Hiroe Howell says this workshop is a wonderful opportunity, and caring for mental and physical health with fun activities is important.
She says this workshop is not like a usual drumming lesson, and is more about being therapeutic, healing and rehabilitating.
"These days there's so many people suffering with the likes of mental health, depression, dementia, or struggling to make a connection with other people."
She says the drums is one of the easiest instruments which anyone can play, regardless of experience or disabilities.
