At Meadowlawn I gave 10 minute drum workshops to every class.

Thank you for bringing in your instruments to share with us. They all looked really cool and they sounded even cooler. My favorite was the two red drums. I really enjoyed you coming and sharing them with us! -Spencer

I just loved your instruments! I think the rest of the class did too, but I think I did the most though!!! Your instruments where so awsome!!! I thought they were so cool. I liked the little drum that you put in your palm, and then you would just move it back and fourth. —Kari
