Drum Circle

The Drum Circle is for participants to interact and play at their own pace. All ages may take part. Rhythms are performed as exampled in Kenne's book, "Drum Circle Cookbook", according to a persons ability. Success is measured by everyone participating and doing their best.
Authentic indigenous rhythms are performed in the oral tradition. Songs and rhythm games are played giving everyone a dynamic part.
Physically challenged participants are encouraged to play and share their ideas.
Bara Bushi is a sample of a piece performed in group activities.
