I have a 4 yr old son that loves to sing. I was wondering how would I go about getting him started singing in a drum group? I'm pretty clueless to it.

You'll need to go local. Ask your local drum, elders, family, powwows etc. Sing with him, make sure he's got some rythym
: Men teach the boys to drum as well as the teachings and all. With little guys sometimes the Men start a junior drum, this would probably be best. One I has a Junior drum. The boys are older then your son but the little ones come sit at practice or sit with thier dads and uncles at the drum, learning by being there.

Learning by being there...yes...at the drum. For little ones...especially since you're a little closer to Oklahoma than I am, find a dance where there is a Head Singer and have the dad or uncles take him out there. He may not be allowed to sit at the drum when he wants to sit down...but his time will come. Even if there is no Center Drum, just go to dances and stand near the drum. It is very powerful.
I don't know what your means/funds are looking like but I hear there'll be a fairly keen dance in London, KY the second weekend in September. Hear the Host Southern Drum will be bringing the entire family...little ones and all. Something like this would definitely give inspiration to not only the children, but their parents as well.
LSSTo get a true picture of your purpose in life, you only get the whole picture when you listen with your mind, your ears and your heart. This way The Creator has a direct connection with you and only you...no outside interference.
When you follow the will of IT that created you, understanding that your purpose is not for you...but for IT and all that IT has created, there can be no wrong except failure to be obedient. Only then do we jeopardize the gifts we are given.
Its not the final destination that defines us, rather the journey taken!Comment

My wife and I are in the "Elder 70+ dance category." Admitting that we may be somewhat old fashioned, but we returned from a last night's powwow where a few of the singers were iphoning at the drum. One lady singer at the gourd dance drum was really into it, probably on the internet, even...01-03-2010, 11:31 AM

Some tribes and individual head singers have strict rules concerning who is allowed to sit at their drums. . . and some don't.
At some drums, only adult males are allowed to sit in the inner circle with a drum stick. At others there are young boys seated. At others, children sit on the...07-01-2004, 01:44 PM -
What is everyone's opinion of drum hoppers? I don't like it when they just set in without asking or join in right in the middle of a song. I won't tolerate this with my new drum group. If someone wants to sing with us, I expect them to ask no matter who they are. Don't just come in the middle of...04-25-2000, 02:34 PM

Ok... I know this thread probably belongs in another area but I thought there might be some drum makers/ singers who could give me some advice. Our drum groups drum has tightened up with the warming weather to a point where it sounds " tingy" ( dunno if thats a word) We prefer a deeper sound....04-28-2009, 12:17 PM
