Monday Evening Drumming with John Felice at KAA
July 9th through August 13th
Next Session: Monday, August 6th, 5 PM
Come join us at the KAA on Mondays for six fun-filled summer evenings of
drum-circle style classes accessible to everyone from "never-ever played any instrument EVER" to the seasoned musician.
Through the experience of playing multi-part rhythms from around the world, we will learn how to make a drum sound great, enjoy making music together as a community, and creatively express ourselves with percussion!
John will provide drums, bells, singing stones, boomwhackers and other exotic percussion. Feel free to bring any percussion of your own, even if you don't know what it is.
John Felice has been leading drum-circles and teaching the hand-drumming traditions of Africa and other cultures for over 20 years throughout New England. Since 1995 he has lead the local drum group "Positive RePercussions." He is passionate about and committed to sharing the healing power and "mindfulness" aspects of drumming, as well as the purely joyful and musical aspects. Restoration of damaged and forlorn instruments, and crafting beautiful custom drums is another of John's passions.
Cost: Single drop in class is $12.
If you have any questions about the class or any of his other work, feel free to call John Felice at 603-986-2345.

Stop the grumbling! The
Sarah Mildred Long Bridge was late, but it's here...and every time it saves you a few minutes getting from here to there, you should celebrate its completion!
With that in mind--in cooperation with the Visual Arts Committee at the Kittery Community Center--KAA member Bill Moore is helping to organize a night to honor the demise of the old Sarah Mildred Long Bridge and the arrival of the new structure with a special presentation in the STAR Theatre and an art show in the Morgan Gallery starting at 6 PM on Wednesday, January 9, 2019.
This event is open to the public, and you're invited! And if you happen to have a photo or a painting of the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge you'd like to share, Bill would be happy to consider it.
We know this event is a long way off at this point, but much time is needed in order to carefully consider each photo and/or artwork submitted for inclusion into this event.
In any case, if you're interested in having your photos or artwork included in this special presentation, please contact Bill Moore at hemmmingwa@gmail.com. Do it now!
