Village Music Circles™ College & University Events
Student Orientation • Celebrations
• Festivals
Since 1987, Village Music Circles™ has created dynamic and fun-filled drum circle experiences for students in colleges and universities across the nation. These community-based drumming experiences utilize extensive rhythmical, drumming, and group facilitation techniques developed by author and master facilitator Arthur Hull, founder of Village Music Circles.
In a Drum Circle Spirit event, a Village Music Circles facilitator leads a group through an interactive community drum circle experience. Participants express themselves collectively using a chorus of tuned drums, percussion and vocals to create music together while having a great time.
A celebrational event by Village Music Circles is designed to bring together large groups of people with diverse backgrounds to experience the unity and community created by interactive group dynamics. Everyone can participate, regardless of musical background. Participants need only be ready to have fun playing music with others in a high volume, hands-on, rip-roaring community drumming circle. Magic happens even for participants who feel they are rhythmically challenged.
A Drum Circle Spirit event will long be remembered for its ability to empower people to use their own rhythmical spirits in a playfully cooperative, interactive and fun-filled celebration.
