To cover our rental costs there will be a $5 per person charge. Whenever we have a three month cushion the next circle will be free.




Where?


Behind the Plymouth Church
(See details below)
87 Edgell Road
Framingham, MA


Directions:

Going north on Edgell Road from Route 9, at Framingham Center, Plymouth Church is on the right. Enter the driveway on the left side of the church. Follow the driveway all the way around the church as far as you can go. See the diagram & photos below.

4. When you open the door to walk in you will see this stairway. Don't use the stairs. Just turn to the left, walk down the corridor and take your first left turn.

5. Looking down this corridor, the classroom we're using is inside the second door on the right.

Water: An important drumming tool

Keeping yourself hydrated while drumming is of the utmost importance. It's especially important during hot weather, or if your hands hurt or bruise. (If your hands hurt, you probably need to work on your technique too.) Drink a little water, here and there during the session, even if you don't feel thirsty. Don't overdo it though.

Below are a couple of photos of a classroom at The Plymouth Church. We will be holding our circles there instead of at Ellison Hall starting with the December 2005 circle.
