Games at Heart Beats

We often start our sessions with some musical games. This is a short film of a game we play - mirroring. You take turns to lead or copy. When the music stops - don't move! It's fun and relaxing - a great way to loosen up and make connections.

Count Me In are taking part in a sharing event about 'musical inclusion'

We're pleased and excited to be involved in a sharing event,  where we will be talking about Heart Beats.
This event is called 'How can we get more children and young people into music'?
It's  a free event and parents, carers and youth workers are welcome - it's not just for music leaders.
On June 26th Jane and Alex will both be talking at a similar event, aimed at the more 'formal' music sector - such as schools.

Last Heart Beats before Easter

We have a great session planned for this week - lots of ideas contributed by everybody from last session, plus good bits from the awesome Heart Beats guitar orchestra .... Brazilian beats, Mexicans v Texans, tropical rainforests, and maybe even a reprise of David's song about his Good Dog.

The regular sessions will be coming to a pause as we start our outreach phase, going out and about to schools.

On 4th July there will be a date for your diaries : the Heart Beats summer party at Wells Museum, 6 - 8.


It's going to sound good ... the rhythm of the heart beat ..... warm hearts!

Deserts!

At our last session lots of people said they wanted to do 'guitars' this time.
We've been thinking hard about this one ..... because Geoff said 'African blues' too... so tonight's theme is...
DESERTS!
 First off, African desert blues (thanks for the inspiration, Tinariwen)
 Then, some low down Tex - Mex musical dualling in a dusty desert landscape.
We're just loading up with every guitar we can lay our hands on, plus a big bag of plectrums.
Get out of my way, tumbleweed. Here we come.
