"There's only one way to carry a drum.
Hug it like you love and put your chin on top."

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.

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

Seating Arrangement

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

Click for a printable .pdf version of the set-up.

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.
