DRUM IT Up are excited to announce that the Saturday Community Drum Circle is back, with classes held on Saturday 27th November, Saturday 29th January, Saturday 26th March and Saturday 30th April (last Saturday of the month during school term time).
All classes are held at the Christchurch Hall, Park Road, Frome from 1:30-3pm.
“Drum circles are a great way to bring people together through the joy, laughter and energy that creating rhythm in a group brings,” said Tanya Sherriff. “This will be a session for all ages and abilities, and is a fully inclusive whatever your needs are. All equipment will be provided including drums and percussion instruments of all shapes and sizes! No experience needed and everyone including families welcome.
“Drum Circles are not about teaching rhythms; they are about bringing community together through rhythm, making up your own unique sound as a group and learning to listen and play with each other collaboratively. Through trained facilitation you will be guided by signals to shape and sculpt the rhythm you weave. Drumming has many health benefits and there has been lots of research papers written on the positive effects drumming in a group can bring.”
“Suggested donation is £6 per adult and £2 for children.
Weekly African Drumming Classes
“Frome also has a friendly and established weekly drum class for adults only which has been running for several years, every Thursday at 1.30-3pm at Christ Church Hall Park Road Frome, during term times,” added Tanya.
“Learn some traditional African poly rhythms (2 different rhythms that link together) and Djembe technique so you feel confident around a drum.
“We do some laughing, some improvisation and you will feel energised and joyful at the end. This session is for all abilities, and levels from beginners to experienced and is fully inclusive whatever your needs may be.”
No experience is needed and the cost for the class is £8 a session (concessions available) paid termly, or £12 drop in. Limited places left as it is restricted to 20 people.
