And here’s some things they’ve said:

‘Many would say the Maggie’s Centre is a beautiful place… but through the workshop Steve added a vibrance and a beauty which is difficult to describe – the people who took part were captured by his energy, they were absorbed, delighted and fascinated by the music within them which he enabled them to discover.’

Lesley Howells, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Centre Head, Maggie’s Dundee

‘Your workshops were amazing and really captivated everyone – hope you will consider coming back next year.’

Helen Lawrenson, Centre Director, Falkland Centre for Stewardship Big Tent festival

‘Steve brought everyone together in a musical celebration of a day exploring the element of water. His relaxed and positive style allowed everyone to express themselves in their own way and introduced us to a new world of magical instruments  – great fun! A great way to close an event with a beat and a smile!.’

Penny Martin BSc. MSc Environmental Education Consultant. From the interactive music session to close the ‘Leading Edge’ event for Scottish Natural Heritage. Comments from participants: ‘Especially loved the music session at the end.’ ‘…and the musician at the end was excellent!.’

‘Steve is excellent with the children (they are a difficult group!). He has such a wide variety of instruments and interesting things for them to do that their attention is taken up so their behaviour is better. The children are loving this session! They look forward to Thursdays and are delighted when it’s time to go to music. During the sessions they join in enthusiastically, dancing and singing.’

From parents and staff at the Arbroath Music Group:

‘The Music Group, and Steve who leads it, is wonderful. Steve holds the attention of everyone. He encourages, stimulates and gives appropriate encouragement to each person, knows their names, the things they like and how to bring out their best.’

 

‘Stimulating start, crescendo and a quiet finish – it was a lovely session. From the response of the service users, losing this would be equivalent to a bereavement. Please continue the funding of this group.’

 

‘All the participants were most enthusiastic and obviously love this session. Happy, joyous and energetic. A picture of sheer enjoyment. This is definitely a must to continue. Steve deserves an extreme amount of credit. Perfectly great.’
