" Michelle has a lot of passion for drumming that made the class interesting. She was able to slow down or speed up the material depending on where students were at. She is encouraging and offers lots of ways to stay engaged in drumming! "

" I have had a fabulous time at your public drop in drum circles! I always drop into that more present space with a very aware and trance kind of experience. I always feel so synced up with the drummers and I feel your facilitating style really invokes that. Hope I can make it to many more! "

" My 6 year old and I have had the privilege of participating in Michelle's Family Drum Circle for the past two years. Michelle is an extraordinary music educator, as well as a purveyor of the beauty of the sounds of the natural world. Her ability to meet intergenerational group members where they are at and build on their strengths and existing knowledge creates a welcoming and inclusive environment for personal and relational growth."

" Michelle's Drum Circle Connection was a fantastic addition to Corvallis Fall Festival! Michelle brings a great energy to the group and made it so easy for people of all ages and experience levels to jump in and play. The drum circle before the Saturday Night Street Dance was the perfect way to keep the audience engaged while the closing band set up. It was a joy to watch the community connect and make music together! "
Caitlin Garets

" Michelle led a drum circle and percussion instrument build at my granddaughter's 9th birthday party. We all had a great time.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and I heard lots of “this is the best birthday party” from everyone that joined us. We had a chance to play the instruments we built and try out all the drums and percussion instruments as well. "

Have Questions?

I'm committed to making your experience as smooth and straightforward as possible.

What is a drum circle, exactly?

A drum circle is a shared rhythmic experience where people come together to connect through music. No musical experience is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to have fun.

Do I need to bring my own drum or instrument?

Nope! I bring a colorful collection of drums and percussion instruments for everyone to use. Just bring yourself and a little curiosity.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. My circles are welcoming to all levels—whether you've never touched a drum or have been playing for years. The experience is about connection, not perfection.

Can kids participate?

Yes! I love working with children and families. I offer specific drum circle experiences designed just for kids and parents to enjoy together.

How long is a typical drum circle session?

Most sessions run about 45 to 60 minutes, but it can vary depending on the event or group needs.

Where do the drum circles take place?

I host events around the Corvallis, Oregon area and can also travel for private bookings. Some events are indoors, others outdoors—each one is unique!

How far in advance should I book?

For private events, I recommend reaching out at least 2–3 weeks in advance. But don’t hesitate to check in sooner—there’s always a chance I have a spot open.

How much does it cost?

Rates depend on the type and size of your event. Once I know a bit more about what you're looking for, I’ll share pricing options that fit your needs and budget.

What’s your cancellation policy?

Life happens! I ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. For private events with deposits, cancellations within 48 hours may be subject to a fee.
