Our Vision:
"The Women''s Drum Center envisions a world in which women drummers- as performers, teachers, students- are a driving force for promoting joy, inclusiveness, respect, and unity in community."
Our Mission:
The mission of the Women''s Drum Center is to provide opportunities for women and girls to learn, teach, and play percussion together and to energize the community at large through our performing.
Our History:
In 1989, Colleen Haas founded Drumming Our Fill, a percussion studio committed to providing a wide range of percussion experiences for women. Here, women could find artistic and emotional safety to pursue drumming--an art form where society marginalized women. Haas also started Drumheart, an ensemble of advanced Drumming Our Fill students.
In 1996 Haas relocated to Winona, Minnesota. The members of DrumHeart reorganized Drumming Our Fill into the non-profit organization DrumHeart Studio, Inc. In 2001 DrumHeart Studio changed its name to the Women’s Drum Center (WDC). The center continues to provide a home base for DrumHeart as well as classes and events for women and girls in our community.
At the Women’s Drum Center we emphasize:
-the joy of drumming rather than drum competitions
-an encouraging environment for beginners to explore drumming
-drum and percussion technique training
-learning from women drum instructors
-performing compositions arranged or written by women
-opportunity to grow both in drum skills and personally
-the communal nature of drumming
-world music
For over 10 years, Women''s Drum Center has inspired women, girls, and our entire community through percussion workshops at our studio, outreach programs to community centers, and the fabulous drumming energy of our performance ensemble, DrumHeart. We''ve spurred on runners and walkers at events such as Race for the Cure, the Twin Cities AIDS Walk, and Headwaters Walk for Justice. Please support our healing, fun-filled mission!
* Donate to our general fund to support all of the various programs of the Women''s Drum Center.
* We keep our class rates as low as possible, but we still know that cost can be a barrier. Support our Scholarship Fund, earmarked to help low-income women and girls participate in our workshops.
* PASS THE WORD - Advertisements, fliers, and other ways of advertisement are rarely the ultimate motivators. It is usually people like you, telling friends about what we do, that bring our students to us. Word of mouth is our greatest friend.
