“I found it energising, challenging and absorbing as well as extremely enjoyable.I also took delight in looking around the group and seeing the great pleasure and joy expressed on the faces of the other participants.It was an excellent community building activity which was accessible to everyone and a wonderful example of how the efforts of each individual (however limited their ability may be) when combined with others makes for a much greater whole!”

"The beginning of a new school year is an opportune time to inspire staff to work as a cohesive professional group... For staff to become the learners in an atmosphere of fun and collaboration is a powerful way to re-energise staff morale.In a short 30-minute time frame, Tina had 180 staff totally engaged and made links between the message of the prior presenter and the experience of drumming.The success of this activity was no doubt due to Tina’s thorough preparation and vibrant, professional delivery. A great way to start the new year."

"Thank you for sharing your music and enthusiasm with my family and friends to create a wonderful experience for my recent birthday celebration.I didn’t really know what to expect when I asked you to facilitate a drum circle, but I knew whatever you were involved with would be exceptional, and it was.You provided us with quality instruments of many types, something for everyone, and encouraged us to explore their different sounds.Looking around the circle revealed happy smiling faces... You created a real celebration for us that I will remember fondly."

“I collaborated with Rhythmworx on a staff professional development session and I was delighted with the outcome.The team from Rhythmworx, led by Tina, worked professionally and respectfully, creating an experience that was both accessible to staff with no musical experience and liturgically appropriate. Tina’s experience as a music director and facilitator was clear in the way she engaged staff and encouraged them to step outside their comfort zones.The session resulted in a meaningful, inclusive, and enjoyable experience that successfully conveyed the history of our school through a thoughtful combination of narrative, music, and liturgy.Weeks later, staff were still commenting on how it was a valuable way to build community and connect with our school’s story.”
