Testimonials:“My first class with Heidi was so powerful it changed my life forever. She helped me to develop self-confidence and self-awareness during a very trying time in my life. Heidi’s patience, guidance and inspirational teachings have helped me become the person I am proud to be today.” Pat D, Albuquerque, NM“Heidi is a patient, kind and skilled teacher who makes learning new things fun. I highly recommend her for both beginning and advanced drumming students.” April P, Boulder, CO
"I have been drumming for the last few decades, but I have never met anyone as skilled at African drumming as Heidi! She truly is a master drummer in my mind. Her time in Africa and her training as a classical pianist might have something to do with it - I don’t know - but she is by far the best drumming teacher I’ve ever had!" ~Sierra S, Boulder, CO
