"Drum Garden" Theme
Adults (and tweens and teens with their adults welcome)
​
This theme is our pick for, especially day programs, but it is also perfect for social services organizations, small faculties, and others!
​
These are exploratory, wellness and drum & percussion circle experiences, which include rhythm games, and more. They are great for self-esteem, stress relief, confidence-building, community-building, light exercise, and fun!
​
Your guests will be introduced to percussion that may be new to them, and they can try them. But sometimes, you may end up finding out that your guests have their own drumming back-stories!
​
*** These workshops will always be different, and I like to throw in some surprises. ***
​
This workshop theme requires the most "stuff" and moving the stuff. We can offer only a handful of them per season. Don't delay in requesting Drum Garden!
