“Perfect timing to start at around 11am on the second day, everyone got up and got involved without any cajoling or persuasion. Apparently one of the Account Managers bought some boomwhackers the next day as they loved it so much.! As far as energisers go it did exactly as it said on the tin. Thank you.”

“We all enjoyed the music we made together and the “buzz” lasted with us for several weeks! Great music and release and one of the best ways yet we have had as time together. This was exactly what we were after, all of us participating on a level and very enjoyable “playing” field. Great afternoon away from the building sites.”
School of Management, Cranfield University
“An energising and inspiring end to our two-day conference. The workshop ran more smoothly than I dared imagine and was a real crowd-pleaser. As soon as people heard the force of the noise and exhilaration of themselves playing together they were hooked. A fantastically fun workhop that showed the power of team work.”

Yorke Mead Primary & Maple Cross JMI Schools, Rickmansworth
“The feedback we had for the sessions was really good. Our leaders on site told us that he did very well in being able to engage the children that can be quite challenging at times. Knowing the children they were talking about means I can say that that is quite the achievement”. Simon Pollard (percussion)
Highfield Junior School, Bromley
“We had a great carnival day, thank you. Raz was very good at getting things organised and took charge of presenting to the children. Marcia and Raz taught them well so that they gave a great performance to parents. Children and parents enjoyed things very much. We, as teachers, were very impressed. Thank you.” David Kerry, Yr 5 tutor (percussion & dance)
William Ford School, Dagenham
“We had the dance and drumming on Friday and it was fantastic! The children really enjoyed it and thanks again for fitting us in, it was a great day.” Laura Bonfield (percussion & dance)
New Fosseway Special Needs School, Bristol
“Our key stage thought they were excellent, we are obviously quite varied in need but they appealed to all. The instruments were great and the man had a very soothing tone with the kids. The dance session was appropriate and accessible and there was a lot of smiles on the children’s faces. The art session was probably the least appropriate for our guys, just due to their poor fine motor skills, however the resources were good and the kids loved wearing their creations afterwards. Thank you for coming in and sharing your time with us.” Laura Hines, Head of key stages 1 & 2 (percussion, dance & visual arts)
Sauncey Wood Primary School, Harpenden
“Our school had a wonderful day exploring, drums, dance and masks for our Brazilian Carnival day. The teachers were knowledgeable, fun and engaged the children in a great learning experience. We would definitely book again.” Rochelle Cherry (percussion, dance & visual arts)
St Louis Primary School, Newmarket
“I wonder if you could pass on a huge thank you to Raz for a fantastic day today! The children absolutely loved their drumming experience and I was amazed at how quickly they were able to pick up on the drumming techniques with Raz’s instruction! I know that the children will look back very fondly on their day, so many thanks again. Please convey my sincere thanks to Raz for today’s drumming workshop. Our children really enjoyed the opportunity to make music with Raz and it was wonderful to watch them develop their skills over the course of the workshops.” Alice Lebbon, teacher (African drumming)
