Drum Circles a Hit at Hawthorn Court
07-15-2018

Drum circles continue to grow in popularity.  A drum circle is any group of people playing (usually) hand-drums and percussion in a circle and unlike with a musical group, the drumming is not in preparation for a performance. At Hawthorn Court at Ahwatukee, a monthly drum circle is offered, giving residents an opportunity to create their own unique sounds using drums, maracas and other props. Research has shown drum circles offer numerous benefits including relief from stress, light exercise associated with the physical act of drumming, and the joy derived from group music making.
