August Jam: Stick around!

Every month, we gather for a playful musical reset—an open invitation to laugh, make noise, and move to the beat. It’s about rediscovering joy, meeting kindred spirits, and giving your inner kid the space to be loud, messy, and free.

This August, our Jam is titled "Stick Around!" and it's all about rhythm sticks! This session will be full of movement, music, and interactive fun using these simple yet dynamic instruments.

No experience needed, just bring your heartbeat and your playful spirit! Dive into musical games that let you discover small percussion instruments, make some joyful noise, and connect with others through rhythm, laughter, and pure fun.

About Heartbeats Music Collective

When’s the last time you sang a silly song to yourself?Danced like no one was watching?Banged on the table just to feel the beat?

We’ve learned to quiet those instincts—to stay composed, to be “appropriate,” to act like grownups.But under all that conditioning, there’s still a part of you that just wants to play.

The mission of Heartbeats Music Collective is to create a space where that part of you can come alive again.A place to reconnect—with rhythm, with movement, with joy.To make noise. To move freely. To be fully, wonderfully human.I’ll guide you through a musical experience that invites you to listen to the most important rhythm of all: your own heartbeat.
