From the outside looking in, drum circles can seem mysterious. And the drum circle facilitators can seem even more mysterious. The way they seem to bring so many people together into mesmerizing, pulsating rhythms while saying virtually nothing-surely they must hold some secret, some intangible quality bestowed upon only a few. Not true! In "The Accidental Drum Circle," Mark Burrows shares how, with no more than two hand-drum lessons to his credit, he put together a drum circle program that reached hundreds of elementary students. This humorous "quick read" addresses everything from how to arrange the instruments and students to the basics of drumming to how to start a groove to how to have a drum circle without drums, and dozens of topics in between. As Mark writes, the purpose of drum circle is immediate-connect people through a shared musical experience that builds community while celebrating individuality. This resource will help you do just that, immediately and successfully!

A bass drum. A scratch record. A cello. A lion’s roar. A dog’s bark. A gamelan. All of these sounds and millions more are right at your fingertips. Literally. It’s the human body—the greatest and most diverse instrument on the planet. Think of the possibilities. You can stomp with the whole foot, or with just the heel. You can tap your toes or slide your foot across the floor. You can pat your tummy or pat your chest. You can clap with flat palms or clap with cupped hands. Now imagine all the possibilities when you use vocal percussion and other mouth sounds. Combine body percussion with vocal percussion and mouth sounds and the possibilities are endless. Body Electric 2.0 explores some of these possibilities in the form of grooves and other rhythm activities that are accessible, educational, and wildly fun. Suggested forms are provided for each, allowing you to extend them into performance pieces, perfect as a change of pace during any concert. And it’s amazing how much learning is hidden in all this fun! From grammar to gamelan, poetry slams to palmas, and tone poems to tongue twisters, students will strengthen their listening skills, perform a variety of rhythms, and explore music and cross-curricular concepts. Grades 2-6.
