Irie Steelpan Workshops

Good morning,

The children had a fantastic time thank you! It was lovely to learn about how the drums are made and the history behind them, which we are now starting to link into our learning.

The children are going to be writing some thank you letters to you both today, so I shall email a few to you.

Have a lovely day,

Louisa

Hi Marcella,

I just wanted say a big thank you for all the drumming you've been doing at Juniper Hill over the last few days.

I've heard lots of staff and children say they had a great experience and it's just been lovely to hear music around the school again after the year we've had!

Thanks again!

Hi Marcella

You were amazing, the band was a complete surprise to our guests who thoroughly enjoyed the music and the opportunity have a little dance.

I have been on the event site and left you a review.

Hope you had a good journey home, many thanks once again.

Regards

Julie

Hi Marcella,

Thank you for your email. The children loved the workshop and really enjoyed playing and learning about the steel pans. It was all they could talk about that afternoon!

Good morning, Marcella

The children, and staff, had a wonderful time on Friday. They thoroughly enjoyed dancing to the music and loved trying to guess the song Junior was playing. I didn't expect the children to be able to have a turn themselves, so that was even better.

Some comments from the children include, "it was the best day ever", "it was awesome", "I loved playing the pans myself".

Thank you very much for a wonderful day.

Kindest regards
Sandra

Dear Marcella and Junior,

The children of New Ash Green Primary would like to say a huge thank you for the experience this week.

They thoroughly enjoyed hearing the beautiful steel drum music as part of their celebration for World Music Day/week.

I hope you had a safe journey home and look forward to making new plans for workshops with you both in the new academic year.

All the best,
Olivia

Hi Marcella,

Thank you for getting in contact to follow up your visit last week. We were very lucky with the weather as I'm sure that was the best day we've had since last Tuesday! The children had an amazing time. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and loved learning how to play the steelpan drums. There are a few photos on our website of the children dancing and playing the instruments.

Thank you for visiting us.

Kind regards,

Emma Lister

Hi Marcella,

The children absolutely loved your visit and the music. It was a breath of fresh air in what has been a challenging time for the children and staff. Thank you!

Kind regards

This was an amazing event for Black history month. We are an autistic primary school and everyone of our pupils had fantastic experience. The music sound and volume was perfect and the interaction With both staff and pupils had us all buzzing about it well after it had finished.

We will be booking again.

Thank you.
