Expressive Drumming
is a program developed by Rose Husted that encourages people to express themselves through music. Weekly classes and healing sessions are open to everyone. We invite you to join us! Workshops or performances can be geared toward children, adults, seniors, or all ages. Our programs offer a blend of instruction and freedom of expression. Hand drumming rhythms are taught, along with songs from around the world. We also create new music together! We learn techniques for improvisation, such as maintaining supportive rhythms, while others make up a melody. The beauty of improvisation is that it emerges purely from a connection formed between people who are sharing the experience and co-creating the music. When we drum and chant together, we experience a feeling of unity.
You may choose to play an instrument, chant, dance, meditate, lie down, or sit still. You are welcome to bring various instruments. Our classes have included: djembe, djun djun, Native American flute, Tibetan singing bowl, tabla, doumbek, guitar, harmonium, frame drum, gankogui/agogo bell, balafon, kalimba, udu, shruti box, crystal singing bowl, pan flute, log drum, mini steel drum, Tibetan bell, shekere, sistrum, shakers, finger cymbals, Hapi drum, and didgeridoo.
Benefits of Expressive Drumming may carry over into other areas of your life. Your ability to focus may improve as you practice holding a rhythm while others play a different rhythm. Scientific studies have demonstrated the significant health benefits gained from recreational music-making. Information regarding this is available on the Benefits page. People often describe the experience as relaxing and energizing. Visit the Feedback page to see what else people are saying.
