Testimonials

Tesia has worked in our school for a number of years now. Her well organised sessions are fun and inclusive enabling children at all stages in their musical development to take part. Not only do their musical skills get an opportunity to grow and flourish but so does their confidence and collaborative skills. We have witnessed some wonderful performances in school and more recently at a summer music festival held in our school grounds – a wonderful celebration of all that the children had achieved.

"Musicbandz has been an incredible additional offer to our children for a number of years. With all abilities catered for, it is wonderfully inclusive. A fun and modern choice of scores, soundtracks and tunes takes place which always fully engages and motivates the group. Each term, a performance is organised for Musicbandz to showcase their progression and it really has become a fantastic celebratory series of events in our school calendar."

"Music Bandz orchestra is a really special, unique and fun group. The orchestra is structured to enable children with a wide variety of experiences and levels of achievement to fully participate. Having the music displayed on screen is a brilliant way for all children to follow the score and the music is beautifully arranged with some pieces composed especially for them. This is a wonderful way for children to take part in group music and one they clearly enjoy being part of."

Music Lead, Marshgate Primary School

"Music Bandz provides an opportunity to young musicians to experience group music in an orchestra. My child looks forward to playing with others every week. When I first listened to Music Bandz’s performance at school and venue outside, I felt so impressed and touched especially I can feel their passion towards music. Participating in Music Bandz definitely inspired my child’s talent beyond regular music lessons."

"My daughter has loved being part of the Music Bandz orchestra. She has learned how to play as part of a group and participated in fun concerts. The whole experience has brought music alive in a way that practising alone at home just doesn't." 

"I would like to thank you for teaching and encouraging them in the past 2 years. I am so glad to see them enjoy playing music with confidence."

"The music bandz was really fun especially when Tesia played along with us.  I like the way she used the screen to show us the programme of music. It’s not easy for me to wake up an hour earlier except going to go to Orchestra every Wednesday morning!”

"The Rock Bandz approach has made it so easy for my daughter to progress on the bass guitar. It's shown her how songs are put together and, more importantly, she's had a fantastic time learning to play the songs she likes with her friends."

"Music bandz has been a brilliant experience for my daughter. As someone without any musical background, I have been astounded by the musical knowledge Tesia has taught her, but also the wonderful opportunities to apply these skills in concerts in and outside of school. She has loved these enriching experiences, and as a parent I could not be happier. I wholeheartedly urge you to give it try - Tesia is fantastic,  and you will not be disappointed!"

"I love orchestra and rock bandz. Tesia is a great teacher and she makes everything really fun for us. At the start of the year I could not play music but then I joined orchestra and  now I can read music and play music. Also in rock bandz it is really fun to play any instrument or sing."

"I love Rock Bandz because it doesn't matter if you don't know how to play an instrument because you can learn it easily and its really fun!"

"Music Bandz has been an excellent experience for my son. Without any previous experience, Alesio has developed his musical knowledge in an amazing way, and all these thanks to the dedication of teacher Tesia, but also from the wonderful opportunities to apply these skills in concerts inside and outside the school. Also, the Rock bandz has helped him to be more open in his association with other children. He has enjoyed these enriching experiences and as a parent who could not be happy? I wholeheartedly encourage you to try it - Tesia is fantastic and you won't be disappointed!"

"We get to choose our songs and we get to play our own instruments."

"Both my daughters have done Tesia's classes. Both thoroughly.enjoyed them from mini bandz upto Rock Bandz. The classes are fun and energising and are a fun way to introduce kids to music or to complement more traditional classes. Would highly recommend."

My daughter is thoroughly enjoying Rock Bandz and we were so impressed with the performances at school and even more impressed when she sat down at the piano at home and seemed from no where to belt out a tune with an variety of chords. A fantastic experience to explore music in a fun environment on a number of instruments.
