Rhythm Connection at USC

Socializing Other Music

What’s Happening?

July 12, Unity Spiritual Center ABQ, 9800 Candelaria Road NE, ABQ, 87112.

Meeting every 2nd Saturday, 3:00 - 4:30 pm, in the Sanctuary, 

Welcome to USC Rhythm Connection!

We can't wait to drum with you!

Lesley Goddin and John Vandermey facilitate a monthly opportunity to connect through drumming and percussion. This circle is open to all people, whether you have drumming experience or not. And if you don't have your own drum, don't worry -- we have lots of drums and rhythm instruments to borrow during the circle.

Other instruments are welcome too. Bring your Native American style flutes, and favorite rhythm instruments with you and share your musical gift!

Our goal is to provide a welcoming environment that encourages people to connect with the community through the expression of rhythm. We want to be a safe place for you to explore rhythmic connection and percussive self expression in a gentle way. Being in community involves listening to what’s happening in the group and seeing where you can add to that. Making music together also involves making sure to leave space for others to join in as well.

Rhythm is not limited to drumming and percussion! If you are moved to dance, vocalize, play a flute (or another acoustical instrument), or just clap your hands, we encourage that. That adds to the connection possibilities.

Sometimes, when the group is in a steady groove, someone will “play up.” That is, they’ll play a little louder, with some flourishes and accents, for a few measures to add a little spice to the experience. This is expected and encouraged. Keep holding that rhythm while they do this, so they know where to come back to. Drumming can be good practice in listening to yourself and to each other and harmonizing what you are contributing with what others are putting into the circle. We’re about building those heart connections in the community.

Fee

This is a free event. Love Offering donations are accepted. If donating through the Church Center app, or the web site, please include a comment for USC Rhythm Connection so the office knows where to place the funds.
