Children's Drum Circle Workshops

Today I did 2 workshops at Thirning Villa for the School Holidays through Children's Services. It is great to work with children and their parents. Drum circles offer a wonderful way for children and parents to share in an enjoyable activity for both of them. There will be weekly workshops leading to percussion making and playing workshops and a performance at the Carnival of Cultures on the 20th of March. There will be ways for people of all experience to participate. If you are involved in the Rhythm Arts and would like to be involved. Send me a message and we can see what we can dream up : )

I have just been updating my drumming blog. It has some information on the nature of my Rhythm and Drumming Program. Here is a snippet.

Rhythm and Drumming : An introduction to World Drum Circles
A rhythm and drumming program which uses rhythm, movement, percussion, vocals and drums to explore the wonder of playing music in a group.

An engaging and fun introduction to World Beat Drumming. The program explores how to communicate through rhythm using drums, bodies and voices. Inspired by the world drum traditions including from the Middle East, Africa, India and Latin America this program taps into a cross cultural meeting point fantastic for the diversity of contemporary Australia.
