TEACHER’S WORKSHOP TESTIMONIALS

December 2, 2003


A.D.

“Rhythm has been revealed – I’m more aware of my rhythm and of the rhythm around me. I now have a place, a safe place, to go to get my pace – to teach from the heart. I hope I can have my class connect to me – our rhythms in sync.”

C.B.

“Confirmation of your inner voice. Rhythms lead to a sense of control. External (drumming) to gain internal control. Structural flexibility. Listening with and to internal rhythms of others absorbing then reflecting with a purpose.”

Celeste

“I definitely felt the shift in energy in myself as well as in a collective whole. It was a positive vision of energy, physical and mental. I do believe that how we feel, the manner in which we conduct ourselves, etc. have a great impact on our students. The necessity to transfer this energy to our students is vital. The first step is awareness and I believe that your workshop made us aware and gave us a point of reference to begin from.”


R.D.

“I came in with an open mind and I feel Drumming and the Rhythm of the teacher + students have a place in the learning curve. I feel like I have only scratched the surface, and that there are some powerful forces that this workshop has touched upon that can be utilized in the classroom.”
