About Village Music Circles™

Village Music Circles (VMC) is the world’s leading organization for drum circle facilitation training.
For nearly forty years, VMC has inspired a global movement of rhythm facilitators dedicated to connection, creativity, and community.

Our trainings teach the techniques and skills to access the universal language of rhythm — inspiring authentic connection and cultivating the art of community building.

Through Arthur Hull’s pioneering work, Village Music Circles established the guiding principles, techniques, and protocols that define the modern practice of rhythm facilitation. His approach transformed the simple act of drumming together into a powerful tool for learning, leadership, and healing — giving rise to an international community of professional Drum Circle Facilitators in schools, organizations, recreational centers, and health facilities.

Today, VMC has trained more than 35,000 facilitators and certified dozens across the globe. Our 32 VMC Global Trainers continue this mission, leading 3-Day and 6-Day VMC trainings that connect people worldwide through rhythm’s unifying power.

You, too, can learn to lead your community through fun, dynamic, and meaningful rhythm experiences.
