Hartbeats works with schools, community and youth groups, businesses, class members, festivals and events. Here is some of the feedback Justine and the Hartbeats team have received.

Schools and Young People

“Sincerest thanks for a really engaging and enjoyable workshop! Your session was pitched perfectly for our pupils, who clearly loved every minute. You have given us a fantastic start to our new topic!”

Director of Music, New College School

“All staff really enjoyed a staff training session in which we practised a number of rhythms which we then performed for the whole school in an assembly, much to their delight! The children in Upper Key Stage 2 also enjoyed workshops which they are still talking about.”

Jo McMorrin, Headteacher

“The children had a great time learning about the drums, where they were made and how they were made. Each child had a drum and you communicated with them in a fun way. We look forward to seeing you again.”

Manager, Replay Holiday Club

Community and Youth Groups

“I would like to thank you for a fantastic evening of drumming. The Scouts had a great time. The mixture of playing and talking about the culture and history worked really well, and the coming together of everything they had learnt was a tremendous sound.”

Scout Leader, 1st Radnage Scouts

“The African drumming workshop was superb. All the girls took part and nobody had time to get bored. Within minutes everyone was able to keep a strong beat going and it was fantastic to hear them playing with Justine and Barry.”

Brown Owl, Woodford Rainbows, Brownies and Guides

“We were very happy with the workshop provided. Fun, immersive and energetic. Many thanks and we look forward to having you again.”

Anna Stephenson, A Day in the Country

Corporate and Team Building

“It was better than I ever envisaged. There was such a happy vibe in the room and even the sceptics in the team were won over. You have a gift for including everyone. I would certainly recommend you.”

Team Manager, Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust

“Thank you for leading the session. Colleagues really enjoyed it, which was very energetic, lively and fun!”

Haleema Ahmed, University of Hertfordshire

Classes

“When I joined I was a complete novice but felt part of the group straight away. Drumming is a joyful and creative means of expression, a mood enhancer and a very positive community.”

Caroline T

“Justine’s classes have had me hooked for many years! She creates a fun energy and explains things in a way that allows you to fully understand the layers of rhythm.”
