Meet Michelle Lovrich

“Rhythm is free and in everything. My goal is to help people feel it, play it, and have fun with it.” – Michelle Lovrich

For over 15 years, I’ve led the Corvallis 1st Saturday Community Drum Circle and taught hand drumming to people of all ages—in person, online, and at events big and small.

I offer both private lessons and public classes, and I work with individuals, families, schools, and organizations. From festivals and celebrations to team retreats and wellness sessions, I bring rhythm to any space where people gather.

With a colorful mix of percussion instruments from around the world, I guide groups through joyful, uplifting experiences rooted in rhythm, connection, and play. I’m based in Corvallis, but I love to travel and bring the beat across Oregon and beyond.

Drumming is more than music—it’s a powerful way to connect. With training from Village Music Circles, Music Medicine, and Remo Health Rhythms, I make rhythm accessible, empowering, and fun for everyone.

A glimpse into the joy, rhythm, and connection shared at our community and private events.

" Michelle has a lot of passion for drumming that made the class interesting. She was able to slow down or speed up the material depending on where students were at. She is encouraging and offers lots of ways to stay engaged in drumming! "

" I have had a fabulous time at your public drop in drum circles! I always drop into that more present space with a very aware and trance kind of experience. I always feel so synced up with the drummers and I feel your facilitating style really invokes that. Hope I can make it to many more! "

Love&light, Vicki

" My 6 year old and I have had the privilege of participating in Michelle's Family Drum Circle for the past two years. Michelle is an extraordinary music educator, as well as a purveyor of the beauty of the sounds of the natural world. Her ability to meet intergenerational group members where they are at and build on their strengths and existing knowledge creates a welcoming and inclusive environment for personal and relational growth."

" Michelle's drum class has been a highlight of my life for the past 2 years. Learning the traditional rythms is an amazing experience. Thank you Michelle for bringing this to the community. We appreciate you! "

" Michelle provided a drum circle for our Earthday celebration. I thought it was great. It brought people, young and old, together and got them actively participating. "

Janet Hagen
Founder of The Thyme Garden

" Michelle's Drum Circle Connection was a fantastic addition to Corvallis Fall Festival! Michelle brings a great energy to the group and made it so easy for people of all ages and experience levels to jump in and play. The drum circle before the Saturday Night Street Dance was the perfect way to keep the audience engaged while the closing band set up. It was a joy to watch the community connect and make music together! "

Caitlin Garets
Corvallis Fall Festival Communications & Music Manager

" Michelle led a drum circle and percussion instrument build at my granddaughter's 9th birthday party. We all had a great time. Everyone enjoyed themselves and I heard lots of “this is the best birthday party” from everyone that joined us. We had a chance to play the instruments we built and try out all the drums and percussion instruments as well. "
