Primordial Percussion Seniors Drumcircles Explained In Detail

 

   Our seniors 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. 

   Elderly participants 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 bigger drums. All residents get a drumbeater to minimize the risk of personal injury and to insure a more comfortable playing position.

   The facilitator will take care of all the seniors drumcircle 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 drumcircle programs 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 participants are gently encouraged to join in with whatever rhythm the facilitator may be playing, this helps 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.
