REVIEWS!

Bury St Edmunds County Upper School (GCSE group) Kirsty delivered a whole day workshop to 40 GCSE students as part of the delivery of the African music part of the course. After being given the course information in advance, Kirsty devised a fantastic programme that covered virtually every aspect of the African music: she even included a composing session, with student working in small groups, devising and notating their own African-inspired drum patterns. This was then followed up with performances and constructive feedback.
By the end of the day, the students had learnt and performed a 4 part African song (with movements, which the students particularly enjoyed!), learnt the basics of drumming technique, the context of African music and other African instruments, and learnt and performed confidently different sets of polyrhythms.
Kirsty's delivery of the workshop was fun, well paced and structured, and the students warmed to her sense of humour and enthusiasm.
The whole experience has been excellent - professional, reliable and efficient. We will definitely be booking Harmonia Music again!

Stapleford Primary School (all year groups) Kirsty was wonderful and every single child and adult had nothing but praise - they came out buzzing (as did I). Kirsty clearly knows her stuff and has a wonderful and natural way of communicating her passion to the children. Fast-paced and absolutely bursting with 'stuff to learn'. I can't thank you enough for giving our children such a valuable, exciting and inspiring experience.

Saffron Walden Children's Orchestra (mixed ages) Kirsty and Derek delivered a highly professional and engaging workshop on our orchestral course. Perfect combination of energy and hands on drumming . Would totally recommend. The best drumming workshop we have ever had. Nothing was a problem for them and we would definitely book them again.

Assorted WI groups We thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
It was great to be doing something everybody could enjoy young, or young at heart.
Had very positive feedback from many members who thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Personally I was impressed with the wonderful sound we managed and all felt the tuition was excellent and fun!
