I have to declare I’m terrible with social media, pictures and reels etc… I prefer to spend time at my workshops making music with the children, not posing or setting up shots or recording etc… 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!
