Thanks for sharing this. I was just asked to facilitate a drum circle this weekend for the first time and this helps a lot!

Thank you for sharing! I facilitate a drum circle for seniors as well as one for adults with developmental disabilities, and you offer some great ideas to try!

Thanks! Where geographically do you work? I'm based in Wisconsin, but have done this in Illinois, Minnesota and Iowa as well.

I am in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. I am not a trained facilitator, and do this as a volunteer. I have accumulated a few drums and percussion instruments through the years and made some others with upcycled materials. I'm hoping to found a nonprofit community music society so I can get some funding for more instruments. There are so many people in our communities who could benefit from drumming but are on limited incomes.

I use 1x8 inch kids plasic frame drums by Remo, they're indestructible and last time I bought any, cost only about $12 US each, with a beater. Also shakers (some homemade) and tambourines. Good luck!

wonderful ideas!

wonderful! bravo!!

Thanks, Jeremiah! If you know any senior/disabled venues in the Wisconsin area that might be interested, feel free to pass this along.

+John Duggleby I'm sorry I don't know anybody in Wisconsin but if you were ever to expand into Minnesota I work with MRCI, which is filled with wonderful senior/disabled folks! I would love learning how to do what you do so I could share this experience with my folks. again just wonderful!

Where in Minnesota? I'm in Madison, and it might actually work out if I could do a few in a day, especially in southern MN or the Twin Cities area. I also do nine different musical programs for this age group (singing accompanied on string/percussion instruments). If you send me an email to me@johnduggleby.com I'd be happy to send you a flyer on y many programs for seniors/disabled. Thanks!

I see Social Engagement here. Thanks.
