DRUM CIRCLE: OPEN MUSIC JAM (CP315)

CP – Performing Arts Participation

Drumming is an ancient musical tradition that energizes, builds unity, provides relaxation, heightens creativity, heals the spirit and is great fun! We cover a range of rhythms and patterns from around the world. Bring a drum (djembe preferred) or other percussion instrument; some are provided. No musical experience necessary. This is an informal gathering with no lessons, just a chance to share songs and play together.

This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
