Ageless Rhythm drum circle programs are a positive approach to seniors drumming. We take the risk and guess work out of establishing a drumming circle at your facility.

Seniors Drum Circle

Ageless Rhythm drum circle programs are 45min. in duration with a 30 minute set-up and teardown period before and after the event. We have found 45 min. to be the prime time due to the intensity of the program. Seniors are equipped with wheel chair height drumcircle drums and specialized drumbeaters, the service includes twenty drums and if more residents show up we simply double them up on the big drums. All residents get a drumbeater to minimize the risk of personal injury and to attain a more comfortable playing position. The facilitator will take care of all the set-up procedures and also run the entire event from start to finish. All you have to do is book us in and assemble your drumcircle of seniors. Typically a private room with little or no distractions works better but we can and have facilitated sessions in all types of areas like hallways, patios and outdoor areas. The drum circle facilitator will do most of the work standing, with a drum attached to him/herself using a specialized drumstrap. This allows us to manover around the drumcircle at will and always have a free hand to assist seniors when needed. The seniors are gently encourage to join in with whatever rhythm the facilitator may be playing at the start to breakdown any resistance and provide a warm-up period. The remainder of the 45min. program is filled with simple drumpatterns, singalongs, solo's and shakerwork. Approx. 3/4 of the program is group work and the remainder is devoted to one on one. We feel it is important to pace the seniors in a challenging but managable level so many opportunities are given for a short break if needed. Seniors will roll or walk away with a feeling of success, pleasure and desire for more drumcircles.
