Community Music Circle at Duncan Place

Returning after a summer break, we’ve decided to rename our Drum Circle to... Music Circle!

Music Circles provide us with the perfect way to have fun, express ourselves, beat stress and connect with our community. In our Community Music Circle, we will create ‘in the moment’ music with drums, percussion, voices and other easy to play melodic instruments.

All instruments are provided, and you can join in any way you can - you don't need any experience.

Morag from Moving Music will be here to lead the group in some funky beats and rhythms. We're really looking forward to welcoming back all of our returnees, along with lots of new folks too!
