“Drum circle is 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. Come and try it out and have a cuppa at the Rye Bakery as well!
