'Space' workshop at Daytime Kids' Club
"It was evident from their faces and the way in which they handled the instruments that this was a unique and very interesting experience for the children. The music which they produced towards the end was quite amazing and throughout the sessions they responded to your encouragement to make sounds in different ways with the instruments. The range of instruments was fantastic. I would like to thank you for a very enjoyable time - we will be contacting you again for future visits."
