Feedback....

At the end of the session we always pass a 'microphone'  (talking stick) for people to hold, and say or show what they have enjoyed about workshop.
Sometimes it's a smile, a gesture, or just a sound : sometimes the most surprising things!
Here are a few quotes from the feedback at the end of our FMU outreach session last week:


·      I say thank you for people doing drumming and music, and thank you for doing Heartbeats and it’s really good, for Heartbeat drum
·      I loved every minute of it and I liked the brilliant sound we made when everyone worked together
·      having some shakers – that’s good – the beats of the drums – that sounds funny, and then girls dancing....
·      I enjoyed being here and making new friends. You guys are really cool. .. and You know what, and I liked it. It was really cool and I liked being the singer, and listening to music - I liked the music and the drums and that, really cool. You guys are really awesome



Our team said some nice things too:

  • I liked every bit of it. I don’t know if I can pick out a favourite bit – Liked all of it 
  • It’s nice to see new people, it’s nice to get new friends
