My kids desperately need to learn to communicate: healthily, with respect, giving space for others to talk, to listen, to be understood. And the most direct entry into this kind of conversation happens through music. And the musical medium that matches my kids' energy with the expression of this kind of learning content is the DRUM CIRCLE!
I have accessory sticks, bells, etc, but the core of our "circle talk" is formed by the beat of these tunable, differently-pitched drums.
I do serve two schools with similar populations and needs. And both schools will be rebuilding their music program from an empty room. Please help us fill it with energy and the spark of hope!
