First Drum Circle Experience = Conducting experience??


This is my very first time of playing drums for classes. I have to say that I have enjoyed a lot! This is possibly the very first conducting experience in my life. Honestly, I was really anxious, as I was not certain how would other people respond to my signals.

I was not the first the person to get to the center, which I really appreciate Dana’s courage.  I wish I could step up to lead up the crowd once I felt there is the need.

However, as my leading goes, I found it very encouraging. I did not realize myself how much I was enjoying the leading and giving encouragement to others. The more I enjoyed, the more I felt becoming a part of the group.

At the end of the Circle, I was surprised when someone told me that I was great conductor. I was not even thinking about conducting, but just help a little bit of colors into the Circle.

I had a great time this Friday, and I just cannot wait for more Drum Circles!!

  1. I thought you did a great job leading the group Crystal! The way you moved with the beat in the center of the circle looked very natural, and not at all uncomfortable! I like being pushed out of my comfort zone in this class. I hope that it will help as all become less nervous before performances!
