We're an Artmark partner, which means we deliver high quality arts education to help schools meet the Artsmark Criteria and seven Quality Principles. We believe that authentic arts projects really make a difference to each child’s wellbeing and achievement. Our hands-on sessions boost pride and self-esteem through the creative process and musical performance and participants leave our sessions with a real sense of artistic accomplishment. We visit educational settings to provide group percussion workshops for children or staff and within an hour the class are performing a beautiful groove together.
