Jeff Rich's Drum Masterclass

MANOR LODGE SCHOOL
The children were captivated from the very beginning of the session and you held them with you throughout with a wonderful cocktail of professionalism, knowledge, interaction and hands-on experience.

ALL HALLOWS
They had pace, variety, lots of hands-on and an amazing finale.

THE MISBOURNE SCHOOL
In these days of recorded and computer generated music it was very valuable to our pupils to see real instruments being played.

RATTON SCHOOL
I would have no hesitation in recommending a similar workshop to another School. The history of the drum was informative and the group performance exhilarating.

RUSTINGTON COUNTY PRIMARY SCHOOL
The children learned so much about the key role of “the drum” in the development of music through the ages

CHAMBERLAYNE PARK SCHOOL
How refreshing to listen to an articulate, highly skilled, natural teacher from the pop world. We hope it will not be too long until you are able to visit us again

RUDGWICK COUNTY PRIMARY SCHOOL
The children loved their opportunity to play percussion alongside you and I am sure will long remember the experience, as will those adults who were present.

HARDLEY SCHOOL
The pace of the class was “spot on” and your rapport with the pupils just right. You certainly inspired the pupils

NOTRE DAME SCHOOL
We were all filled with admiration for your enthusiasm, knowledge and skills.

HARTISMERE PRIMARY SCHOOL
One of our children certainly recorded it as “the best afternoon at school ever” I’m sure, in fact, I know, she is not alone.

WOODBRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL
Not only was the afternoon thoroughly entertaining, it was also highly educational. I shall certainly be recommending the event to my fellow head teachers

STOWE SCHOOL
We were particularly impressed with your rapport with young people and the interest you took in them all. The fact that they were so attentive and interested was entirely down to your skills as a communicator.

LANGSIDE PRIMARY SCHOOL
Your class developed our knowledge, understanding and appreciation of a wide range of issues in music as well as allowing our children to see the benefits of commitment and dedication to the goal of great achievement.

GLEDHOW PRIMARY SCHOOL
It is significant that, during a one and a half hour period, not one child asked to go to the toilet! The enthusiasm you have for your work is infectious and we now have a number of potential drummers amongst the pupils and the staff

GRANGEFIELD TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE
The magic factor is the wonderful relationship you have with the kids, they are like putty in your hands and it has been wonderful to watch you in action.

BRIDGEWATER HIGH SCHOOL
The event was a huge success and was a fascinating insight into the music industry through the experience of a professional musician.

CLIFTON COLLEGE
For many of the pupils it will be the closet they ever get to see a professional percussionist close-up and I am sure they found it a memorable experience.

READING BLUE COAT SCHOOL
Everyone has said it was a perfect mixture of instruction, entertainment and humour, an intoxicating cocktail.

YATELY MANOR PREPARATORY SCHOOL
The display was well arranged and the whole performance was very professionally delivered. The interaction with the children was terrific

HAGLEY PARK SCHOOL
We must compliment you on the content and pace of the session - full marks were it to be seen by an OFSTED inspector!

DOWNSBROOK MIDDLE SCHOOL
It was though, your abounding enthusiasm that will remain in our memories and hopefully inspire children to persevere in their musical studies.

MOWDEN SCHOOL
The amount of involvement and audience participation was excellent, this is the way children like and find it easiest to learn. All in all it was not so much a lecture but one of life’s experiences and hugely appreciated by us all. Thank you.

GEORGE WHITE MIDDLE SCHOOL
We thought the session had just about everything, involvement, information and fun, just about all you need in a positive experience

ST. MARY’S SCHOOL
The simple truth is that for you every drum talks. Your love for the activity radiates and is totally infectious.

FRIARY SCHOOL
'Wicked','cool','fantastic','brilliant', - these were some of the many appreciative comments made by pupils, Every day this week pupils have wanted to talk about your Masterclass at the start of their Music lessons, you made a great impression!

ABBEY PARK MIDDLE
The feedback we have received from pupils and staff alike was extremely positive, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the session. It was informative as well as fun.

THE PARK COMMUNITY SCHOOL
I like the way in which you combine your own enthusiasm and music with a depth of knowledge and interest that offers something to each one of them, not least how to value their education and persevere in working hard if they really want to succeed.

BACKWELL JUNIOR SCHOOL

Here are some of the words we thought of to describe your playing - 'amazing performance', 'fantastic', 'an extravaganza', 'outstanding', 'breathtaking', 'astounding', 'excellent', 'lively', 'tremendous'....

Thank you once again for coming to see us, we shall not forget today, it was the experience of a lifetime.

Some of the many 'Thank You' cards Jeff has received.
