Who is a drum circle facilitator?

A drum circle facilitator is an individual who makes this interactive music making experience “easier” for the participants. A facilitator creates a space for the expression of community by empowering the group of participants with a safe and fun atmosphere and tools for expression, enabling them with technique and encouraging them with fun. Trained professional facilitators recognize the need for empowering each individual as the consciousness of the entire group evolves into a musical composition.

A facilitator develops a rapport with the participants and through various techniques is able to assist the music into various compositions unique to the population.
