In our Drum-Circles, all generations play together.
Play with us!
For all generations
Anyone who has always dreamed of playing along in concert can experience playing together with others in our «Drum-Circle» – just like in a symphony orchestra. People of all generations can join in, no previous experience is necessary.
The term «Drum-Circle» was developed by the American Arthur Hull and describes a type of communal, low-threshold music-making. In a Drum-Circle, beginners and professionals, children, singles, grandparents, couples, families and the curious meet to experience and create rhythm together. In the process, a lot of creative potential and joy will unfold. The goal is to get the music grooving in the course of the game and to hear in an increasingly nuanced way.
A wide range of rhythm instruments is available: Hand drums, bass drums, Afro-Latin instruments and various small percussion. The participants playfully try out different musical roles: Maintaining a rhythm, variation, improvisation, connecting, reacting, giving impulses, listening. The Drum-Circle leader acts as a facilitator and “enabler”. Similar to a conductor, he coordinates the interplay, creates the setting, gives impulses for interaction and provides what brings groove and flow. On individual dates, a drummer from the orchestra mingles with the group and plays along. The Drum-Circle is led by the experienced rhythm teacher Thomas Viehweger.
Regular participation is desired, but not a condition. Also welcome are spontaneous participants who want to take part in individual evenings. Each Drum-Circle is unique in its musical course and in its composition.
