Beyond Rhythm is not just your ordinary band; it's a remarkable community where individuals with various disabilities come together with a common passion for music. In this uplifting space, they break down barriers and stereotypes.
With a shared love for music as their foundation, members of Beyond Rhythm collaborate and develop their musical skills in a supportive and inclusive environment. Each member brings their unique talents and abilities to the table, in a way that showcases the beauty of diversity and unity.
