Recent Testimonials:

Kecia, you were so generous with your time and your energy, and I had so much fun drumming with you. I can say for sure that the whole time we spent practicing, and learning and laughing. I didn’t think about anything sad, anything bad, and all the things that are going on were not in my mind. I was just feeling loved on, feeling peaceful, feeling happy, and groovin...and that feeling lasted well into the night. I feel like it was a step towards healing, which we all need. So I want to thank you, it was soo much fun, and so needed; and I appreciate you. The feeling of gratitude is really important, and we definitely left with that. So, I look forward to the next class. Thank you so much. -Elisa

Your ability to meet people exactly where they are at is amazing. I am so grateful. And I look forward to future classes. Thank you so much! -Michael

Last night's drum class gave me back my day. It took me out of all of this trauma that's going on around the world, and it put me in a very different place. Kecia was amazing in how she was able to bring us from zero to a hundred, in one class. In an hour, we went from very simple beats... but by the end of the class... we had a song. We had something in our heads, we had a beat, and it was in us. The drumming class was something that I wanted to create music in my life, and do it with community, and it did that. Thank you, Kecia. -Amy

I look forward to seeing you there! Peace, Kecia
