MEETING YOUR NEEDS

Drum circles can be used in many different settings, for many different purposes. Positive Beats wants to make sure we meet your needs, so before we come to facilitate a drum circle we will send out a form asking questions about your group and what you hope people in the drum circle will gain.

For example, this could be, working together, promoting fun and laughter, increasing fitness levels and mobility, enhancing musical awareness, aiding relaxation, increasing self esteem, helping with emotional release, reducing feelings of isolation, connecting communities, enhancing communication, or boosting morale.

Where applicable, we can also provide a questionnaire to be completed after your drum circle to help show the benefits gained. If required, this could be collated into a report to support further drum circles.

PRICES

Prices are dependent on the number of participants in the drumming event, if the event is one off or booked as part of a series, how long each event will last and the nature of the organisation, for example non-profit or corporate. It is also dependent on how many of the team are involved.

The prices include the transport and travel time, as well as setting up the event. For this reason it is more cost effective to be booked for a day or half a day, rather than only an hour or so.

For example, within a primary school setting we may be booked to do 3 x 20 min sessions with groups of 30 nursery and reception children and then 3 x 1 hour with groups of 30+ Year 1 and 2 children. So for a one day booking over 200 children and teachers can experience the fun of drumming!

We can also advise about funding sources.

Please contact Positive Beats to discuss your requirements.

PRACTICALITIES

Positive Beats is based in Teesside, but will travel within a wide radius to bring the benefits of recreational drumming.

Positive Beats can provide a one-off event or a series of events as part of a longer term programme.

Positive Beats has the equipment to offer large drum events, such as a conference warm-up activity for 100 plus.

We can also offer smaller events, for example at a family gathering or to mark a special occasion. Personalised gift vouchers are also available.

We will come to you or can help you book a suitable location.

Positive Beats drum circle facilitators are CRB checked and K Lowe has £10 million public liability insurance.

Young adults age 16 and under must be supervised at all times by a responsible adult.

Additional terms and conditions are contained within the Booking Form.
