Testimonials

"Our kura loved our Bucket Drumming Music Mix Session. It was educational and inspiring and our 325 tamariki were engaged throughout, so much so that many classes continued their own drumming lessons into the afternoon!"

Tumuaki (Principal) of a Nelson primary school - part of the NCMA Music Mix programme

“Colette worked patiently and with great empathy to gain the child’s trust and to understand the sensory needs and high interests that would engage the student.

Because of the high needs of the child it was a long process but Colette kept coming back with new ideas to try and over time the lessons became a time of calmness and enjoyment. It was always exciting to watch Colette unpack her bag and see what she had brought with her each time.

Colette’s personal qualities of calmness, empathy, acceptance, love of music and creativity made her the perfect person to deliver the music therapy intervention for this child. I would not hesitate to recommend Colette for any future music intervention programmes that she may wish to be involved with.” Judith
