We thought he was amazing, all of the children had a fantastic time. To have 65 children and some staff all have a go together at trying to play a didgeridoo is something and he managed it so well. Thank you for the workshop!”

Louis in my class was so inspired he has been playing is didgeridoo at home. It was great to watch the CBeebies clip too and we created some didgeridoo fact work using this and the training. Thanks Chris!

It really sparked the children’s interest and it was great to hear about the Dream Time story about the didgeridoo and the termites making the Milky Way. A great experience.
