    Why Drumming?

    • Mood: Grateful
    • Music: Organic American Drum Circle

    Why drumming?

    Music is a universal language, and drumming is one of the most accessible ways for diverse groups of people to make music together. Drumming encourages teamwork and builds skills in listening, participating, and leadership. Our goal is to help people build stronger communities through making music together in the classroom, at team-building events, and at community gatherings.

    In the past few decades, there has been a movement to uncover and recover the ancient art form of drumming and making music together as a community.

    The interest in drum circles as a way of community gathering has been growing rapidly all over the world and is happening in many settings. As well as community circles open to the public, facilitated drum circles are being used in schools as an educational tool; are taking place in multi-national corporations and governments for morale building, in health care facilities with the well-elderly, cancer patients, recovering addicts, alzheimer patients ...and the list grows as more people experience the positive effects of self-expression in a creative and friendly environment.

    Drum circles can be extremely effective for corporations, companies, and small businesses that want to enhance the generation of new ideas and better team work. When people discover that they can collectively produce a good sound without any musical training or background, they start to realize that they can be more effective at work by putting their heads together and working as a team.
    Also, drumming uses the brain in a different pattern than the linear thought process that is usually needed in the work environment. A drum circle brings the group to a more open mental and psychological process. The creative side of the brain becomes free to improvise, which can be carried over to the production of new and better ways of working. An excellent tool to kick off any kind of brain storming session, and optimize the quantity and quality of new ideas. I provide the group with the tools they need to figure out the task.

    Not only are drum circles a wonderful way to have fun and meet new friends. Other recognized benefits include it as exercise for the mind, body, spirit and a great stress reducer.

    Drum circles are coordinated by a facilitator in order to help the group have fun making music together and no musical experience is necessary in order to participate. We are all rhythmical beings! This multi-generational, multi-cultural, activity encourages listening and relating to each other without words and is really a re-connection to the ancient wisdom found in all cultures about the beauty and importance of community gatherings.

    The late Babatunde Olatunji, a gifted drummer and inspirational teacher, made it his life mission to help create peace in the world by encouraging people to communicate and celebrate life through music. He said: “All people from all walks of life, all colors, have various things they can do together to create harmony, and it is the simplest to make music and sing together."

    Corporate Team Building Events

    • Mood: Grateful
    • Music: DrumCircle
    Team Building With A Drum Circle?

    Team building through the interactive process of a drum circle is a relatively new approach to employee productivity that is becoming increasingly popular throughout the United States.

    Successful corporations know that good team building improves the success rate, not only of the team, but of the corporation.
    But, knowing how to create truly effective teams is a distinct set of skills that is rarely taught to the employees who would be in a position to implement them.

    There are two obstacles to team building in the corporate environment.
    Unlike sports, where it is known that the team has to work together, corporations are often highly competitive environments. People who view their co-workers primarily as competitors, are unlikely to interact in a constructive team setting.

    In addition, employees are accustomed to passively accept the work assigned to them by their bosses and work primarily towards doing only those specific tasks that they believe will please their boss. Building a successful team requires a significant shift in these two patterns of interaction.
     

    A good team's members will help one another overcome obstacles and improvise new and better ways of accomplishing all of the goals that the team faces, rather than individual tasks. This makes the entire team more productive.
    Plus, as humans are social by nature, this interaction makes the work place more enjoyable. People who enjoy their work place are more productive!

    Drum circles are a highly effective way of introducing the revised shift in attitudes necessary for building teams.
    While an individual can beat on a drum and produce a rhythm, it only becomes true music when a group of people play together.
    A drum circle facilitator teaches the basics of drumming, then guides the group into creating a musical experience.
    The type of facilitation used can be a major factor. A too highly structured drum circle can emphasize the mindset of only just following instructions. The ideal type of facilitation to kick start or improve team building is one in which the participants are encouraged to improvise within the rhythm structure provided by the facilitator.

    It is a direct parallel to the team improvising solutions to the group of tasks that the team needs to accomplish. Drumming immediately reduces stress and breaks down barriers between the participants.
    The process then brings the group back together in a nonverbal form of team interaction. The group learns how to listen to what is going on and respond to it in a way that adds to the total product.
    Once people do this in a setting that is fun, they can then carry it back to their regular work tasks, resulting in better communications and increased effectiveness.

    For many years, companies have endeavored to implement the concepts of empowering employees to find and implement better ways of accomplishing work processes.
    Deming, one of the world’s foremost authorities on Quality Assurance and employee productivity, was also one of the first to recognize the fact that it is the employee working at the lowest level who knows the most about how to improve the flow of work.
    The stumbling block has always been how to convince workers to speak up and propose the changes and then find ways to make those changes happen to achieve optimal results.

    Drum circles provide a unique and highly effective solution to this quandary.
    Drumming has been around for thousands of years.
    Virtually every culture on earth has a history of community drumming being used to unify the group. Different cultures produced different instruments and rhythms.
    Your company is a microcosm culture that can use the same approach to unify the group and improve their interactions, resulting in improved productivity.
    As the facilitator, my job is to provide the instruments and guide the participants through the process. I do not tell them what to do, but give them the tools to figure out what their group song is.
    This is a surprisingly powerful tool. I start by letting them just beat on the drums to get a feel for the physical motion involved and to release any tensions.
    Then, I start showing them a series of basic rhythms and, once they get those, show them how to feel the rhythm and add their individual flavor to it.
    The sound moves around as different people will dominate a pattern and affect it.
    Then, I introduce a new beat and someone else ends up taking the lead, and away we go team building, while having a good time.
    Trying to encourage employees to think outside the box and find better ways of working is a highly worthwhile goal.
    Drum circles show them how to do this in a context that removes their normal ideas of constraints.
    It gives a simple joint goal to the group, then fosters a creative and spontaneous accomplishment of that goal.
    It enhances the ability of the members to function together at their best by providing a path that is relaxing, invigorating, and just plain fun.

    People who enjoy working together are consistently more productive.
    The stress reduction of the drum circle can also significantly reduce absenteeism.
    Many large corporations are now using drum circles on a regular basis.

    My Job is being constantly tuned in to the group and the individuals, so they can have a good time.
    Helping people to find their own inner sense of rhythm takes very little guidance and can be done spontaneously in the middle of an ongoing rhythmic drum beat.

    Natural rhythm flows within all of us.
    Our hearts beat to a rhythm, we walk to a rhythm, many aspects of our daily lives are done to a rhythm.
    Whenever we hear drumming, we begin to move to the universal rhythm inside us all.
    The drum connects your heart to your hands.
    We start out a beat, we just follow the beat, and all of a sudden we are improvising, experiencing and talking with our drums.
    You are the instrument, the drum becomes your voice.
    Drumming conversations begin to emerge as people become connected beyond the music being played.
    They are finding their inner natural rhythm.

    How Hand Drumming Reduces Stress

    • Mood: Grateful
    • Music: Drumming


    How Hand Drumming Reduces Stress and Connects People

    It has been proven that hand drumming can alter a person's response to stress at a genomic level.

    Based on a study by the Medical Science Monitor, it was proven that people who play music in their free time have genetic reversals to stress.

    Many health organizations have followed this logic by integrating drumming into their curriculum and have reported that it is a healthy way to relax in multiple ways.
    The more intense a person is while playing, the more aerobic the activity becomes whereby the player reduces stress and burns calories at the same time.

    Playing a drumbeat engages the right side of your brain, shifting the pressure from the critical thinking left-brain.
    So, after an intense day at the office, the drum can physiologically relax your mind and refuel for the next day.

    Beginners having a great, stress-free time playing djembe at community drum circle.
    What makes hand drumming so inviting is that it is quite easy for inexperienced players to pick up without the frustration of learning technical skills.
    When you join a large drum circle group, your only task is to contribute what you feel comfortable doing and the circle finds a way to embrace it in the melody.
    This in itself provides stress relief and positive energy for your psyche.
    A drum circle creates a sense of acceptance and community.

    Drum circles are recognized as effective team building exercises for companies in the corporate sector.
    They are also used in health care facilities for rehabilitation, senior care and family therapy as well as recreational and school programs for children.

    These days, companies and corporate executives are looking into professionally facilitated drum circles for stress relief and team building.
    In fact, Toyota has added a drum room to their building fully equipped with all types of hand drums and percussion instruments.

    Drum circles are also used in therapeutic sessions.
    The music produces a sense of synergy and focus, quieting the noise of chaos that can be troubling for people.
    For family therapy, making music together has had great results in getting teens to open up and discuss difficult issues.

    Many college campuses are hosting drum circles in their public areas.
    Faculty encourage the activity as a healthy way to reduce stress from demanding schedules, tight finances and testing anxiety.
    The drumbeat also brings all types of people together opening doors for new friendship and a support group.

    No matter what your age, gender or background, drumming is an open door for all to try.
    When you plan your next family gathering or retreat, consider planning a drum circle as part of the event to bring the group together and open up a new form of communication.

    Children and Drumming

    • Mood: Grateful
    • Music: American Drumcircle

    Many people believe that playing the drums is simply nonsense, that it is nothing more than mere noise.
    Many artists would strongly disagree with you.
    Drumming has been proven beneficial to both adults and children as well.

    Firstly, there are the mental benefits.
    Shown mostly in children drumming develops the skill of focus.
    In following along with the beat and learning to keep tempo children are exercising their brains and developing skills that without drumming they may not ever use.
    When following the beat children are using each part of their brain to ensure that the beat they are producing coincides with the beat they are hearing.



    Learning the music will also increase your child's memory capacity.
    Next are the raw benefits of producing music.
    Being that drumming is producing music unlike any other instrument many people think that it’s just a lot of banging around when in fact its most definitely not!
    Drummers require just as many if not more skills than any other musician does.
    A drummer is indeed a musician!
    If your child is interested in drumming, he or she should be encouraged to try it.
    Music is a natural wonderful part of life and any interest a child shows in it should be encouraged.

    Among some of the other benefits of playing the drums is that experts find that there are many positive effects children can gain from drumming.
    Drumming is a great form of stress relief it is also contributed to expression of feelings leading to mood elevation.
    Some long term benefits to drumming are hand to eye coordination, intelligence and self-confidence.
    If your child drums and learns to do it well he or she will have a great sense of accomplishment.

    Providing your child with alternative activities will keep them away from the television set, the computer and the video games.
    Children today are just waiting for things to take the place of these electronic babysitters and music is one terrific source.
    Drummers find that they are more in tune to things around them and find pleasure in things that they can hear and appreciate.
    Being able to make their own music can do nothing less than teach them to be self-efficient, confident and mature.

    What better way to teach your child discipline, endurance and confidence?
    Enroll your child today in drumming and reap the benefits, or better yet contact your school or local PTA and get our dynamic program into your children's school.

    Studies have shown that drumming:
    Improves your child's overall academic performance.
    Shows that children actively engaged in arts education are likely to have higher test scores than those with little to no involvement.
    Develops skills needed by the 21st century workforce: critical thinking, creative problem solving, effective communication, teamwork and more.
    Teaches children to be more tolerant and open.
    Allow your child to express themselves creatively and bolster their self-confidence.
    Keep students engaged in school and less likely to drop out.

    Also, drumming uses the brain in a different pattern than the linear thought process that is usually needed in the work environment. A drum circle brings the group to a more open mental and psychological process. The creative side of the brain becomes free to improvise, which can be carried over to the production of new and better ways of working. An excellent tool to kick off any kind of brain storming session, and optimize the quantity and quality of new ideas. I provide the group with the tools they need to figure out the task.

    Why drumming?

    Music is a universal language, and drumming is one of the most accessible ways for diverse groups of people to make music together. Drumming encourages teamwork and builds skills in listening, participating, and leadership. Our goal is to help people build stronger communities through making music together in the classroom, at team-building events, and at community gatherings.

    In the past few decades, there has been a movement to uncover and recover the ancient art form of drumming and making music together as a community.
    The late Babatunde Olatunji, a gifted drummer and inspirational teacher, made it his life mission to help create peace in the world by encouraging people to communicate and celebrate life through music. He said: “All people from all walks of life, all colors, have various things they can do together to create harmony, and it is the simplest to make music and sing together."

    The interest in drum circles as a way of community gathering has been growing rapidly all over the world and is happening in many settings. As well as community circles open to the public, facilitated drum circles are being used in schools as an educational tool; are taking place in multi-national corporations and governments for morale building, in health care facilities with the well-elderly, cancer patients, recovering addicts, alzheimer patients, senior events, and the list grows as more people experience the positive effects of self-expression in a creative and friendly environment.

    Not only are drum circles a wonderful way to have fun and meet new friends. Other recognized benefits include it as exercise for the mind, body, spirit and a great stress reducer.

    Drum circles are coordinated by a facilitator in order to help the group have fun making music together and no musical experience is necessary in order to participate. We are all rhythmical beings! This multi-generational, multi-cultural, activity encourages listening and relating to each other without words and is really a re-connection to the ancient wisdom found in all cultures about the beauty and importance of community gatherings.
