6pac Trio I learnt that a drum in the drumkit has a lever that changes the sound. I really want a drumkit for my birthday.

6pac Trio It was very interesting when Andy opened up the piano and I saw all of the strings inside.

6pac Trio Thank you so much for teaching us so much about your instruments and how they worked.

6pac Trio I liked the music because it was really loud.

Steve & Alex I loved the singing and playing ‘The Zoo Blues’.

Steve & Alex I really liked learning the Italian words. I remember presto, lento, staccato.

Steve & Alex It was fun when you came and I loved it when I had a go at conducting.

Steve & Alex I liked hearing the bassoon because I have never heard it before.

Majestic Brass It was funny when you were having a conversation with the mouth pieces.

Majestic Brass I liked how you were getting us involved such as learning the song with the cool riff.

Majestic Brass You have really inspired me.

Majestic Brass I loved the comedy in the performance - it was brilliant.

Voice Matters The bit I liked best was when we sang the song about bananas because of all of the actions. We have sung it in our class.

Voice Matters I loved working in the workshop and singing together in a group to the rest of the school.

Voice Matters My favourite bit was when Frances & Julia sang the miaow song because it was hilarious.

Voice Matters I really liked your concert in the morning especially when we joined in the game for 'My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean'.

Voice Matters Everybody was humming your sings for days after you had come.
