About this event
Learn to make memorable music using drums, wooden blocks and bells.
A drum circle is an interactive, generally improvised musical gathering where people sit in a circle playing drums and percussion to foster community, reduce stress, and promote wellness.
Come to enjoy making music together!
A drum circle is an instant rhythm experience for all ages and abilities –
Frequently called in-the-moment music-making, drum circle participants play drums and/or hand percussion instruments. Participants engage together to create a group rhythm and cooperate in rhythm games. The circle is moderated by a facilitator who guides the group in rhythms and rhythm-based activities.
Nellie Hill, an experienced facilitator, will teach the simple techniques. All instruments are provided. No musical experience is needed.
Open to TVIH members and 55+ residents in Howard County.
Registration is required. The maximum capacity is 30.
