Absolutely no experience is required. Any and all percussion instruments welcome.
Drumming is health food for your mind, body and spirit. For centuries drumming has been used as a social activity for creating a sense of community, resolving tension (both within and without), and celebrating life. In the same transportive ways as reading a good book or a runners high, a drumming circle can transport you out of your day-to-day stress and worries into a state of being "both energized and relaxed." It is easy for anyone to participate at any level, since no one in a drum circle is more or less important than anyone else. (Some instruments are provided.)

MELODIC RHYTHMS -- a Native American Flute Circle; Morris Plains, NJ
Date: Sunday, March 13, 2005
Time: 3:00pm-5:00pm
One of the keys to tasteful improvising within a drum circle is to be able to hear and imagine simple melodies within the drumbeats surrounding you. What happens when we reverse this process, and listen for rhythms within simple melodies?
Come and help explore. We will apply easy drum circle techniques to create a playful flute choir, which is sensitive & faithful to the underlying beat!
What to Expect:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Native American flutes with their beautiful yet simple scales are extremely accessible to beginners; so newbies welcome! If you've got flutes, bring them, but plenty will be available. A blend of flute circle and drum circle enthusiasts will attend -- bring your experience and curiosity. We will use light timbre rhythmic accompaniment as a base: the heartbeat. But emphasis will be upon the flutes: the breathing lungs.
Part of the session will be devoted towards playing within a simple Southern U.S. blues call and response structure. We will also use pattern games to build up listening and playing together, as well as warm-ups exhaling long tones. Another exercise will involve simulation of early morning forest bird calls. As usual within flute circles, there will be plenty of time for show-and-tell about various flutes and an informal sharing of techniques, songs, fingering, and other sorts of de-mystification. (Or is it re-mystification?)
