A drum circle creates original music, it does not seek to recreate music it has played before. The focus is very much on personal and group interaction, communication, listening, contributing and creating together.
Playing the drum is one of the oldest forms of expression, playing with others is incredibly satisfying.
"We're wired for rhythm. Our hearts are beating. We're walking to a beat. We're breathing to a beat. Our neurons are firing in a synchronized rhythm. We're already a symphony."
— Christine Stevens, music therapist
