Happyness Drum Circles spent a day in our school, providing all the drums and instruments and plenty of enthusiasm and creativity to engage all our older children. The workshops were lively and enjoyable and the whole school pulsated and vibrated to the rhythms being produced. When the rest of the school came together for the end-of-day performance, bringing their home made shakers, Steve's easy management of 400+ children created an atmosphere of sound, movement and excitement few of the children, or staff, had experienced before. It was a "moving' experience in every way as all the children combined their sounds and rhythms together under the direction of their animated Drum Major - Steve. A truly fantastic day, we will certainly be doing this again.
David Simpson, Head teacher, Linlithgow Primary

Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the day. We were put in the position of our pupils, learning something completely new - which we did with great gusto and lots of laughs. Just try passing egg shakers from hand to hand while singing an African song and getting faster and faster! Why did somebody end up with five? Or "passing a rhythm" round the circle, changing direction and passing it back again. It was all stimulating, challenging activity which demanded great concentration, but a wonderful way to spend an in-service day and all staff were very enthusiastic about it.
Avril Lamont, Headteacher Fox Covert Primary, Edinburgh

Everyone was involved immediately, and everything was so positive. This is a great introduction to rhythm. Remarkable!"

Happyness Drumming captivates participants from the moment the session begins. It’s loud, it’s interactive and above all it’s FUN! My staff and pupils always want more! Come back please!!!!
