About
the joy of creativity is for everyone
It’s a common idea around music & other creative arts as they are taught and perceived: that creativity is reserved for those with a particular level of natural ability, or those with a goal of becoming a professional in that art.
We beg to differ! We believe the joy of creativity belongs to everyone, and that the joy is the point.
Heart Notes was birthed out of a desire to see people find joy in creatively expressing themselves, free of pressure to perform at a certain standard. In our sessions, we learn by having a go, not by trying to be perfect! “Heart”, in several languages, also means “courage”, and when we feel “heartened” it means something has lifted our spirits.
This informs our two main aims:
1) Confidence! To build people up so they are encouraged in their capability, creativity, and resilience
2) Joy! To create a space where we can have a hearty laugh together, as often as possible :-D
Modern research has spoken loud and clear on what we humans have known for millennia: that expressing ourselves in music and other creative arts is healing for our minds, relaxing for our brains & bodies, and releasing for our emotions.
And when we can express ourselves courageously and generously, with heart, the world is a better place.
We can’t wait to make it better with all of you.
