Testimonials

“The School of Noise is one of those ideas that you just KNOW is right: bringing back a sense of wonder & accessibility to music-making. Music is organised noise and organising noise is fun!”
Jarvis Cocker

“Thanks so much for giving your time and energy to providing a brilliant experience for the children and young people. It makes such a difference to their time in hospital to be able to offer them something different and exciting.”
Great Ormond Street Hospital School

“I just wanted to say how much the children really enjoyed your workshop…and the adults too! It was really difficult to find something that we haven’t had before, or wasn’t too tokenistic ‘whizz pop bang’ and I really feel you have got the balance right as the feedback was great”

Yateley Manor School

“Thanks so much for today. It was fantastic! The girls loved it! It really sparked their curiosity. And very little of what you did with them would have been possible in a classroom context. The Foley activity was just great.”
Sutton High Prep School

“Thank you so much for coming to St Marys, Rickmansworth to do a whole day of activities for my class. You were such a pleasure to have in school. As we reflected on our learning (from this term) this week, so many of the children’s highlights were from their day with you and they could recall much of what they had learned. They were captivated throughout day and they were engaged with all the things you had to offer. Even on parents evening the other week, the children were recalling things they had done that day and I know many of them are now wanting to be Foley artists when they are older.”
St Marys Primary School (Year 4)

“Thank you so much for yesterday’s workshop. It was lovely to see all the pupils engaged and taking part. Thank you for all the work and care you put into running the workshop and ensuring it was accessible for all pupils.”
Durant School

“I just wanted to drop a line to say thank you so much for the workshop this morning! The children (and adults!) got so much from it. I know that it will really solidify lots of the learning we have been doing in Science and they will remember this morning for a long time. ”
Coopers Lane Primary School

“The School of Noise workshop was absolutely fantastic! Dan’s explanations were engaging and accessible for all children. The children were extremely excited throughout the workshop and eager to understand the science behind sound and to explore all of the many resources Dan provided. Dan provided adjustments and differentiated activities for children with SEN concerns and was able to engage all children irrespective of their needs. Overall, we would strongly recommend the School of Noise workshop!”
Akiva Primary School

“I just wanted to send a quick email to thank you so much for the sessions you did yesterday. The staff have all given such positive feedback about the day. The children really loved it and we were delighted by how well the sessions engaged them for a substantial amount of time – especially impressive for the 2/3 year olds. Thank you so much, we had an amazing day!”

Reed First School (Years 3 & 4)

“I just wanted to email to say thank you so much for coming along to school today. The activities were great, and the children were really engaged and amazed by the world of sound. Thanks for being great with our children and opening their eyes to the world around us.”
The Meadows Primary Academy

“Dan came to visit us for the whole day and every child was mesmerised! The School of Noise comes with so much equipment and hands-on experience that the regular classroom just couldn’t possibly provide. The workshop enriched our Science topic of Sound and gave the children a deeper understanding as to the effects of sound in the wider context. I would really recommend the School of Noise!”

“School of Noise – where future Aphex Twins can make their own experimental electronic beats.”
The Guardian

“Thank you for the inspirational experience my son had at Latitude festival with you guys. Albie loves electronic music and science but has no interest in playing an instrument. He wants to ‘listen and not play music’. The 45 minutes he spent on the analogue synths has changed all that. I cannot thank you enough for inspiring him.”
Parent

“In 20 years of teaching that was one of the best in-school workshops I have ever seen.”
