"The children walked away saying how amazing it was. We could see that children were astonished by the concert and were loving joining in. The whole lot were fully engaged and just amazed by it all. We have had a lot of positive feedback from them all when they came out talking about it for a long while"
The quality was amazing, I think that was the best performance I have seen so far and it was something the children were really interested in as they have all learned the recorder before. It was relevant to a lot of children and the ones that have asked what they can do with their skills were amazed that playing a recorder could go this far. We have a lot of children now interested in taking their skills and fostering them further

"This is our second performance from Saffron Hall and we are always interested in more! They offer such good value for money for schools with sadly very limited budgets. For children to be exposed to live music and instruments they have never heard before is such a valuable experience. Thanks once again and we will look out for more opportunities in future."
“The children absolutely loved it and were singing the songs all day! I also got some thanks from the children for organising which I promised I would pass on to you! We were pleasantly surprised by how interactive the performance was and how good all of you were with the children. We will certainly be looking into booking further performances”
