I found this an excellent help in beginning a drumming circle. Armed with the information from this book I came to know what more questions I needed to ask and what more new information I needed.

This cd is great for small drum circles or practicing by yourself. I have bought and shared my own book with others. This has become an important book in my library

Simply put, helpful book. I’m working to spread the word about the value of drumming in my professional presentations…and I often facilitate drum circles for those with dementia. The tips in this book significantly improved my understanding and skills. Much thanks to Christine.

Christine is on her “A” game with this book. Chock full of information and insight, the “Art and Heart of Drum Circles” should be on every facilitator’s reading list. The included CD makes for great audio reference to material covered in the book. If you have not gotten a chance to see Christine facilitate a drum circle, she is even more fun live. Good job!

I took on a sudden urge some months ago to start playing a hand drum, and to bring some kind of community drumming to the area where I live (a small city). I chose this book because it was cheaper than the others (a limited budget!) and had a CD in it. The book was helpful, and helped me gain some insight into drum circle building. I would say that one of the cons is that it tends to read a little bit like promotional literature from the Remo company, and it seems to have a little too much hype for the author and her Remo sponsored circles. However, there is helpful material in it, and I am satisfied that I got my money’s worth.
