What others are saying!
‘I have had the pleasure of experiencing Afrobeat as part of a huge audience at an ECA conference, as well as in a small 20 adult team building workshop, and participating with the groups of children aged 2 – 5. Each of these experiences was amazing and I can’t describe how infectious Facilitator’s huge smile, dance moves, and positivity are. I watched people start out shy and quiet and slowly let go of their worries and insecurities and join in with excitement and genuine happiness.
I absolutely love how everybody feels a part of a team when they are playing music together. Irresistibly FUN!’
Pinocchio Early Learning Centre - Canberra, ACT
What an amazing experience for our Kinder children. I was blown away by the energy in the room, how engaged our children were and how infectious the facilitator’s joy for drumming was. Can’t wait for the next session.
Mansfield Kindergarten - Mansfield, VIC
Thanks so much Janine for three brilliant drumming sessions with our 4- and 5-year-olds kindergarten groups. An awesome interactive experience that supports the development of children's musical knowledge, in such a fun way. Such a treat to have a professional musician in the classroom, to make music with the children.
Geelong West Kindergarten - Geelong, VIC
A great morning of beats, dance and fun! Kids and adults can all join in, and Neeni is great with the kids!! A must for any kindy or even kids party!!
Mansfield Kindergarten - Mansfield, VIc
It was loud, fast, and fun! The children each had their own drum to copy the beat, sing and chant along to. They enjoyed copying the patterns, drumming loud and soft, and singing and dancing. It was hands on and interactive which captivated the children promoting confidence, gross motor skills and creativity!
Stepping Stone Early Learning - Adelaide, SA
Fabulous and energetic show. Both our younger and older children thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to get hands on with the drums and Janine kept them engaged for the entire time. Great time had by all.

Janine was amazing in her interactions with children, educators, and parents. Janine encouraged the children to feel comfortable and delivered an excellent interactive program. The Afrobeat experience was an amazing program with interactions relevant to the children's interest and enthusiasm.

The children are still talking about how much they loved the drumming show and about half have already asked "when are they coming back?" demonstrating their keen interest. Awesome!
