REVIEWS
“I’ve been to two of Ciara’s drum camps so far this year and both have been an absolute joy. There is always such an amazing, supportive atmosphere and Ciara herself is a great teacher: warm, friendly, super passionate about helping attendees learn new things and refine existing skills so they sound even better on the kit. Bring on the next one!” - SLP
“…I also wanted to thank you personally as you managed to get me out of my comfort zone. I HATE performing / being on stage - I seize up and totally overthink and over agonise - but I am so glad I did it. Having your support and encouragement while doing it really meant a lot.” – Amanda
"This is exactly what I wanted- to meet like-minded ladies, enjoying a group session, getting constant constructive feedback, rich in encouragement and a massive sense of fun… I could see that you were both so passionate to make this work. And it did- it’s one of those never-forgotten, times of my life anyway! " - Hannah
" I can't tell you how much I appreciated how lovely and supportive you were - and honestly every time I looked at you, you seemed so excited about my piddly little bits of progress it really gave me confidence and warmed my heart!" - Lucy
