We Exist to share our passion
Over the past 15 years, Giving Tree Music has brought our cultural, educational and interactive enrichment programs - including drum circles and drum making workshops all over the United States. We have used drums and creativity as the vehicle to transform a group of people into a stronger, more connected community.
We quickly recognized the strongest need for our programs was in the communities with the least resources to have them.
It was this need that inspired Rhythm-Changes.org - a registered 501c3 dedicated to reaching our most underserved communities....
Now it is time to reach farther - but we need YOUR help.

All of us at Rhythm-Changes are thrilled to announce the receipt of an General Operating grant through the Pinellas Community Foundation! Thank you for allowing us to continue our outreach to our valued seniors, at risk youth, special needs and mixed abilities and more!

Age is how many times you travel around the sun - everyone deserves to find joy! We bring drumming and interactive programs to our most important - and often most forgotten members of our community - our elders.

Want to Volunteer?
We are all artists when we have the right tools and encouragement. We provide a handmade drum shell that participants sand, paint and customize. We tie-dye a real goatskin drum head and attach it to the drum. We will create a piece of functional art that will last a lifetime.
