One of the most appealing things about drum circles is that they are different every time. Much depends on who comes, and what instruments we use. Participants are welcome to bring their own drums, or use any of mine.

My aim as a facilitator is to encourage conversational rhythm and sound. Sometimes we learn specific rhythms together, and then improvise. Other times we just play freely. Often we choose instruments that blend to create unique ensemble sounds. Even though I always have a general plan for the evening, I am open for input from anyone in the circle. We want to learn from each other and to express ourselves freely.

Vocal music and chant are becoming a part of our circles. The harmony of voices is truly awe inspiring, and uplifting. The sound we make with our voices is the most natural of all music. I look forward to creating circles of sound and rhythm . . .
