Drum Circle

Get ready for a roaring night of drum gathering @ Musikandmotion on Saturday, June 2 at 6:00PM as Deborah Cardoza (drum instructor and percussion major at CSUS) leads Kinermusik families in a drum circle!

From the Book & DVD "Together in Rhythym" by Kalani DrumCircleMusic.com

Here's what Shannon Ratigan, a drum cirlce facilitator had to share about the benefits of a Drum Circle:

"It uplifts the spirits of all the participants Unity is achieved through diversity. It invigorates the body and mind. Enhances focus and clarity. It builds group cooperation skills and camaraderie. It’s proven to reduce stress, and it’s cheaper than therapy. It reduces employee routine and burnout in the workplace. It improves motor skills, and it’s a positive musical experience. It's an opportunity for self expression, and increased listening skills. It stimulates creativity, experimentation, and self confidence. It breaks down communication barriers, and celebrates the joy of life. It’s empowering, healthy, and most of all it’s Fun!

Scientific research is now validating the health benefits experienced by drumming. Across the nation, organizations are bringing together people of diverse ages, cultures, and even work teams through the community building of the drum circle.
