The Accidental Drum Circle
Mark Burrows.
In The Accidental Drum Circle, Mark Burrows
shares how, with no more than two hand drum
lessons, he put together a drum circle program that
reached hundreds of elementary students. This
humorous "quick read" addresses everything from
how to arrange the instruments and students, to the
basics of proper drumming, how to start a groove,
and how to have a drum circle without drums.
According to Mark, the purpose of drum circle
is immediate—connect people through a shared
musical experience that builds community while
celebrating individuality.
