Testimonials from Jamma de Samba workshops & performances

Bath Samba provides street entertainment and drumming workshops for all ages and abilities, and at our activities day at King Edward's Junior School we were extremely lucky to have Robbie and 3 other members of the Samba Sulis Band working with our children. I had the privilege of observing Robbie working with the children (ages 7-11). He has a natural gift of communicating with young people and this gift goes beyond communicating and into an ability of a high level of Teaching and Learning about music in and through Samba.

I just wanted to say thank you for working so well with the children you really ignited their interest in Samba drumming. All of the children enjoyed it and the teachers commented on how well you worked with the students, even the challenging pupils.

- Nicki McCormack, Hayesdown First School

Great performance, and the workshop was a real highlight of the whole day - noone has stopped talking about it ever since! You did brilliantly getting so many people involved, and we were really impressed with your energy, enthusiasm and professionalism. Amazing array of drums and percussion as well.

Thank you so much for the great workshop you ran for us, we all enjoyed it so much. Your teaching was inspirational and we had so much fun! You gave us so much confidence and made us feel good about our ability to play well as a band. There were a lot of our members who had not played with you before, and you made such a great impression on them. It worked really well, and we gained so much from our day with you. You really brought out the best in us - Thanks!!
