FAMILY DRUM CIRCLE CLASS - SUMMER OUTDOOR PARK SERIES

MONDAYS | 4:30-5:15pm | June - September (monthly 4 week series)

Outdoors at various parks around Corvallis. I'll send an email out each Monday morning to announce the location where the class will be that day.

This class is designed to get kids and families playing together while having fun learning about rhythm. In each class I teach rhythm fundamentals, how to play together, how to make up your own rhythms as well as traditional rhythms. We put it all together at the end with a class drum circle. I bring lots of drums and percussion instruments for the class to explore such as wooden frog rasps, ankle bells, shakers, drums and more. Class cost includes one adult and one child.

" 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. "
