Such a fun and rewarding experience!

Our preschool and pre-k children had a great time exploring different types of drums and musical instruments. Getting to have hands-on experiences while learning really makes a huge difference in children's development and gaining confidence in their abilities. Can't wait to do this again next year!

Great drumming class!

Our school really enjoyed the drumming class. I think our kids were amazed when they walked in and saw so many drums and instruments that they were able to play! They loved it! I also really appreciated the instructor, Kristen, she was warm and calm. I loved how she kept a smile on her face and was so relaxed as the students were drumming, she really made the kids feel comfortable and they had a great time. We are looking forward to Hands & Heart joining us again soon!

Great Experience!

We booked Hands & Hearts Drumming this summer for something fun for the children at our preschool to do. They had an amazing time! They loved learning how to play the instruments and talked about it all afternoon. Kristen was a great teacher to the preschoolers, so kind and helpful! We will definitely book again in the future.

Entertaining and completely engaging

Kristen combined her drumming knowledge with patience and kindness for our school children. She arrived promptly and kept the students involved for the time we requested. Despite the age differences in our students, all enjoyed learning how to play the djembe. The parents who attended were very pleased with the evening, too.

We love hands and hearts drumming. We book them during the summer at our Child Development Center and just had them come to us over winter break. The children love the drumming experience as well as the instructor. She is warm and welcoming. Kind and patient.

Handled a large group well!

I hired Hands & Hearts for a large birthday party for my 7-year-old. Kristen did a great job of engaging the kids and had enough drums to keep all of them happy. She had a lot of interesting information and history of each kind of drum, and she led the kids through guided songs as well as free play on the drums at the end. Very professional correspondences, came on time, set up (and packed up) herself without needing assistance, was easy and pleasant to work with. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to my friends.

Great presentation! Kids were entertained and engaged!

I loved it! Kristen gave a great drumming presentation. The children (all 24 of them) were kept interested, entertained and busy. Having drums and instruments for all of the children was great! The children enjoyed the "musical chair" instrument game at the end of the presentation. Great idea to allow the children to move around. Hope you come back next year!

Kristen did an awesome job teaching our preschoolers about the various drums she brought to our party. She talked about how they were made and different way to play them to get the best sound. Kristen was great with the kids and kept them entertained the entire time. We will definitely have her back!

Another Amazing Event!

Kristen came to join another community event with us and she was amazing! She was engaging and warm, and passionate about her craft. She was so accommodating to our needs and flexible to a few last minute changes that we made.

I loved that she had noise reducing headphones available- we have some kiddos in our crew who are sensitive to loud sounds and this afforded them the opportunity to participate in something really fun they may have otherwise missed.

We also have a wide age range at our events. She had age-appropriate, hands on drumming for all of our kids. My favorite age group to watch her work with was the preteens. They were enthralled with the drum circle- something that can be tricky for that age group!

It is clear that Kristen loves what she does and I would recommend Hands and Hearts Drumming without hesitation. We can't wait to see her again!

We had a toddler drum party for our 3-year old boy, and he was so excited. He loved each moment of it. There were more than enough drums for our tike and a few of his friends. There were also a ton of other percussion instruments that the kids could explore and try out.

So Much Fun!

Hands and Hearts Drumming joined us for a recent event, and it was a positive experience from beginning to end. Kristen was professional and warm and prompt to respond to all of my questions. She arrived on time, with a smile on her face. She worked with several different age groups of children, and was able to adapt to all of their needs and interests. The kids were engaged and interested, and so exited for the hands-on experience! Hands and Hearts Drumming was a wonderful addition to our children's event.

A great in-house field trip!

We had an interactive drumming experience for children ages 1 year-6 year in a series of small groups as an in-house field trip for our children. The children enthusiastically tried the drums and various percussions present, and the staff interacted wonderfully with the children. The children learned about different percussion sounds, rhythms, and how to create those sounds themselves. It greatly enriched our program's summer unit on music.

Fun! Friendly! Fabulous!

Kristen came for my son's 2nd birthday party and was the PERFECT addition to make the celebration feel really unique and special. Kristen was a wonderful balance of energetic, informative, patient (wasn't phased by the 2-year-old breaks to run around, play with other toys, etc.) and FUN! Kristen came with an incredible variety of drums and other percussion instruments and provided just the right amount of information to help the wee drummers both learn a little bit and have a BALL. She also had a wonderful style that encouraged the adults to let loose and join at their leisure...Everyone had a FABULOUS time! Smiles all around for the full hour. Thank you Hands and Hearts Drumming! What a treat! We'd recommend dancing and grooving TWO the beat of your drums for any occasion! :)

Awesome entertainer, kids loved it!

We used Kristen at our Cub Scout Pack Meeting in December 2014. Communication with her to set up the event was a breeze. She showed up early and with enough equipment for all the kids to use their own drum.

The kids loved being able to drum on their own drum and try some other items she had.

She also brought goodie bags to pass out to the kids.

She is professional, works will will kids and overall gives the kids a great time!

I would highly recommend her and would use her again.

Kristen, you did a great job engaging all of the kids - of all ages. I know that can be challenging sometimes as a facilitator myself. You had a friendly yet professional appearance and personality, very key to a job like yours. I know the parent's appreciated your presence at the party so that they could mingle with the other adults. Your drumming was clearly of quality, educational, and fun!
