TESTIMONIALS

‘Congratulations and thank you for facilitating Drum Nature workshops at the Imaginosity & TNCC Kids Stage Festival. We were extremely happy with the workshops and the feedback from people who attended the workshops was all very positive. Well done again.’.
Clodagh Swords, Theatre Officer, Imaginosity, Dublin Children's Museum

‘Drum Nature are a professional and efficient company to work with, Neil catered for our large staff group very well (70 adults!) and adapted the session to meet our needs. The vast range of different instruments created a real atmosphere of creativity and energy within our group and was something very different that all staff will remember for a long time. I would recommend Drum Nature to any business, not for profit organisation, and community group looking for something to engage all staff into doing something they may not normally have the opportunity to do every day – making music and having fun!’
Sarah Harte, Business in the Community Ireland

‘The Drum Nature workshop touched on a number of aspects of the music curriculum. It was very rounded in it’s approach - the children used listening skills, responded to rhythms, and of course performed many rhythms themselves - some children even got to conduct the ‘orchestra’ which allowed them to develop their musical creativity. The children thought the workshop was ‘the best!’ and loved that they had an instrument each’.
Una O’Neill, Cnoc Mhuire Junior School, Killinarden, Dublin 24

‘45 action packed minutes of letting go. I couldn’t take the smile of my face. The children thought it was ‘deadly’ and already want to know when we can do it again’.
Claire Graham, Griffith Barracks School, Dublin 8

‘Neil facilitated three drumming workshops within the hospital. The workshops were a huge success and highlighted drumming’s potential as an accessible, fun and health promoting activity. Neil’s facilitation skills are excellent and he is able to encourage people with little musical experience to tap into their own sense of rhythm and creativity within a very short space of time. By the end of the session participants were smiling, more alert and animated and even improvising during a group rhythm. I would have no hesitation to recommend Neil to any health setting.’
Peter Connolly, Senior Occupational Therapist Saint John of Gods hospital

‘Thank you very much for such a fun evening, my first time drumming; it won’t be my last!’
‘Thanks for for sharing an amazing group experience. Will definitely be spreading the word’

‘Excellent workshop - everyone was involved and the group discipline was fantastic for such a large group. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and also learnt a lot’.
Mairead Quinn, Catholic Guides of Ireland

‘Drum Nature gave us an afternoon to remember at our recent Staff Day. We were looking for something that people of all ages, physical ability and backgrounds could participate in and we certainly got that. The energy and atmosphere was electric, whilst people felt that they had created a vibe through the medium of music. Terrific!’
Helen Beatty, The Community Foundation for Ireland

‘Increased energy/mood, it was good fun and makes you concentrate and focus to improve your alertness; a good way to channel your alertness’.
Patient at St. John of God’s, Sillorgan, Co. Dublin

‘The children really enjoyed being actively involved in music making. The workshop was both educational and enjoyable for the pupils, in all their diversity. There was a very positive response to the workshops generally; our only complaint was that they were over too quickly! We will definitely invite Drum Nature back again.
Emer O’ Connor, Bayside Senior National School, Sutton, Dublin 13

‘I found the session to be fun, active and a great way to release stress. It was exhilarating and adrenaline rushing and a welcome interlude in what was, as ever, a full-on McKinsey workday.’
Lucinda Gilliland, executive assistant, McKinsey and Company

‘Big Up for the drumming on Saturday. Neil taught and led it very well and people seemed to be having a brilliant time. I loved it’
Sally, class participant

‘Children thought it was amazing! Really enjoyed the hands on approach. I was delighted with the good sense of rhythm the children have. Thank you. They thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to make lots of noise.’
Maria Tully, Scoil Phadraig Boys, Clane, Co. Kildare

‘Cool, brilliant, deadly, drumtastic, the business, loudtastic, animal!’
