Comments from staff

"The children thoroughly enjoyed the three workshops that they participated in. Every pupil was able to feel a sense of achievement due to the carefully structured and supported environment in which they worked. I know that adults that had the opportunity to take part with the children thoroughly enjoyed it too! They were tapping the rhythms on the tables for days after! Thank you very much. A very worthwhile activity."

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for yesterday, everyone really enjoyed the drumming and it was a real stress reliever!"

"Malcolm was in Lincroft for the majority of the 'Arts week' and worked excellently alongside the pupils. He worked diligently beyond his contracted time to give up lunch hours and enrich the pupils' experiences. The children had a wonderful week and participated enthusiastically as a result of the superb tutoring. The week culminated in a presentation assembly in front of the whole school; all 700+ pupils joined in with the drumming/singing presentation - it was a fitting and enjoyable culmination to the week's activities - a great celebration of drama, dance and music on the theme of 'Rhythm Nations'."

- Paul Wildman, Head of Performing Arts, Lincroft Middle School, Oakley, Bedford

"Two workshops were booked for activity weeks during the summer holiday period 2008. The age ranges of the children were 4.5-8 years and 9-13 years. Some children from the older age range had some experience of drumming however for the younger group this was their first experience. Malcolm worked extremely well with all of the children and explained the background and history to both the drums and the music in such a way that the children of all ages could comprehend. The workshops certainly were fun and we would definitely use this activity again if and when further activity weeks are planned."
