Community Drum Circle is an empowering process that provides a fun, inspiring and safe environment for students to explore their inner creativity, to reconnect, be playful and be support of each other through music making and expression, at the same time discover new perspectives of team synergy, connectivity, context changing, leadership and the art of listening. Making music in a creative manner allowing contribution to be inclusive and appreciated. It allows students to experience the joy of making music together without going through numerous sessions of classes.
