I have to declare Iβm terrible with social media, pictures and reels etcβ¦ I prefer to spend time at my workshops making music with the children, not posing or setting up shots or recording etcβ¦ so yall will have to take my word for it when I say today was amazing! I was so fortunate to be able to make music with the children Donard School, Banbridge
all morning! And Down Royal Day Care
this afternoon.
A phenomenal day of making music, singing dancing and having fun! Roll on tomorrow for another full day of summer schemes!
