Hug it like you love it and put your chin on top."

Drumming at Thacker Avenue Elementary

Thacker Avenue Elementary School for International Studies

Drumming at Thacker Avenue Elementary School for International Studies

I can still remember the first time I heard “Jana the Drum Lady” drumming with a group of students. There was a feeling deep in my chest as I heard the droning beat of the Djembes and I was immediately mesmerized. It was easy to come to the conclusion that this was something the students at my school needed to be exposed to. Since then I have seen first hand just how valuable the experience can be for children in building their self-esteem, while cooperating within a group which requires them to concentrate on counting beats and following patterns. The shared experience is something I have seen grow in many schools and I consider it an essential part of the total program we offer our students. We are trying to teach international-mindedness by living our mission statement “The Thacker Avenue Elementary School for International Studies community is committed to academic excellence within a safe, supportive and enriching environment focused on mutual respect and inquiry-based learning” everyday.

Teen Drumming

Most teens really do have the urge to bang on something and in this safe environment, teens are encouraged to learn patterns, play together in a group and release the urge to hit something.

for that space in time
and are challenged in a healthy way
to discover this form of expression.

Classroom Seating

A typical classroom Drum Circle Event facilitated by Drum Magic in your location may require a proper seating arrangement for 60 or more participants.

Two openings into the Drum Circle provide access for participants to enter and leave the drum circle without disrupting the overall event.

This arrangement also allows the facilitator easy access to any and all drummers for coaching and individual instructions as needed.

Be sure to leave enough room so that a facilitator can walk freely between the rows while participants are drumming.
