Chelsie is the founder and a music instructor at Rural Soul Music Studio, and proprietor of EarthBeat Music Shop. She has been teaching piano, voice, ukulele and guitar lessons for over 15 years, and in more recent years has been sharing her love for West African drumming and movement with all ages and abilities. Chelsie has taught in a multitude of education settings, from schools to libraries to senior citizen centers. She has had the very good fortune of working with many different peoples, from babies to the aging population: children and adults with special needs, adults with Alzheimers and Dementia, adults struggling with substance abuse or homelessness, and on.

With her gentle teaching style, she strives to make everyone feel at home with the drum from the moment they begin and equally enjoys learning from all students.

Drums are among the world's oldest musical instruments. Drumming today has been scientifically proven to benefit the body and mind by reducing tension, anxiety, depression, and stress; boosting the immune system and increasing energy; helping to control chronic pain; releasing negative feelings and emotional trauma; improving joint mobility and motor skills; and building social interactions and community!
