Drum for Joy - All Welcome
occurs on: Saturdays Monthly
Come and drum for joy with Mandala-based Preston Beats and our drums!
No experience needed al all - zero!
Within minutes Mandala's very own Emma (facilitator of Preston Beats) will have us all drumming together with joy!
These sessions are energising, joyous, stress relieving, confidence-building and great fun.
Absolutely everyone can drum, we all have a heartbeat and we are naturally inclined to fall into the rhythms we can hear.
You can choose a drum, shaker, bell, frog and more... and you will have lots of opportunity to play on a wide variety of drums. Emma will lead the group into exploration and expression of rhythms. This is a safe non-judgemental space where people of mixed ages and rhythmical expertise are guided together to spirited rhythmical exploration and expression.
Our Drum sessions are family-friendly, connecting with each person with their own unique gifts. Come and join in the fun!
The drumming will be for about 75 minutes and then we will have time for cup of tea and a chat if you would like to stay.

No, we provide the drums and percussion instruments
You can't get it wrong! Nerves are natural before we start something new, but my role as facilitator is literally to make this easy. I will guide the group through the rhythms, there's nothing to remember or really learn - it's all about feeling and I help you to connect to that feeling and then I help the group sound REALLY great!
Yes, we will all be sitting in chairs to drum
Absolutely, from 6 upwards!
You absolutely can
In group drumming the group learn some set rhythms, usually to prepare for a performance, but the aim is to perfect and repeat particular rhythms.
A Drum Circle creates the rhythms in the moment, they can't ever be repeated - it's organic and a reflection of the energy and connection of the group at that unique time.
