A yellow card that says: 'We had just come back onto the ward for our daughters next course of treatment. It was a lovely surprise to see you both on the ward - to listen to you both was uplifting and brought a tear to our eyes! It was a lovely experience. Thank you'

Made with Music are always a hit in the museum. They have a song for just about any theme or occasion and it is lovely to see children so engaged and excited by music.
I have worked with Made with Music several times on specific projects for children with SEND and it is always a joy. The children always enjoy themselves so much they have no idea how much they are learning! Over the weeks we have seen children share and explore and really grow in confidence and ability.

Hannah and Kathryn delivered a series of workshops to launch a new early years Songbook resource commissioned by youth music development charity NYMAZ. They took great care in preparing engaging, high quality music activities, adapting and mixing the new songs (including one written by Hannah & Kathryn) seamlessly with old favourites. They also used instruments, finger puppets and ‘woodland’ props to enhance the experience for young participants. It was a pleasure to hear the new songs ‘in action’ and to see the positive responses from children and parents/carers alike, who enjoyed singing about a journey into the woods, adventures in the garden, and playtime in the park. Both Kathryn and Hannah are highly skilled music practitioners with an excellent understanding of music in early childhood.

'Made with Music is, without a doubt, my 2 year old daughter's favourite class- and mine too! We've been going since she was a baby and it's been lovely to see her grow in confidence at the classes and participate by singing the songs and joining in with the actions. We've learnt loads of new songs at the classes that we enjoy singing at home which has been really useful. Kathryn and Hannah play instruments at the classes as well as sing beautifully, so it makes it really interesting and a pleasure to attend. I'd highly recommend.'
