    "Sam loved his first lesson, I think this was best summed up by his comment when I collected him and Arran, they both said “We weren’t in there very long, it was only about 5 minutes!” - What do they say about time flying when you’re having fun?"

    Rachel G, PARENT OF SAM

  • Close-up of a young girl with curly hair, wearing headphones and a green headband, holding drumsticks, in a music practice room with musical equipment and a poster on the wall.

    "Thank you for everything today, Eva had the best time in your lesson and has been telling/showing us all about it. I was worried as Eva is quite shy… (coming out of her shell more now with school and friends).

    LAURA G, PARENT OF EVA

  • A young boy with dark hair wearing yellow-tinted sunglasses and a dark tropical print shirt is playing a drum set with a drumstick in each hand, focused on playing the drums.

He felt like it went really quickly and can’t wait to come back so that says a lot compared to his other activities he does, thank you for your efforts engaging the kids so well."
