“The workshop was really well planned and engaging for the children. The friendly staff were very knowledgeable and provided a session that led perfectly into our music topic. Their passion and excitement in their job was evident throughout and really helped the children to become excited about the whole morning and Samba culture. We would definitely recommend a workshop or event with this company! Thanks Leigh, Juliana and Richie!”
Sarah Von Woerdekom, Teacher, Liscard Primary School, Wirral
“The children have loved the sessions and benefitted tremendously from them. They have complimented our music provision and allowed children to compose and perform music in an enjoyable and fun atmosphere. […] They have worked successfully with a wide range of children, including those with SEN and challenging behaviour. I highly recommend them.”
David Potter, Headteacher, Middlefield Primary School, Liverpool
“Well structured, fun and interactive session – excellent resource booked in from Katumba. The sessions developed from some simple beats to a split section band all working in harmony and producing a final performance that sounded great. Could really see the enthusiasm and sense of achievement […]”
