Testimonial
I'm so honoured that Lynette Sawatsky visited our studio to share her music with us and lead a group class for my students! It was amazing for the students to get to know a REAL composer, and Lynette connected with each student right away. She has an instant draw that magnetizes focus from the students and energizes them to be creative and concentrate on their work while having so much fun! Lynette has a sixth sense for pacing and moving through activities at just the right time. Her props were a huge hit and the kids were smiling through the whole class. They LOVED having their picture taken with her and having their books signed. The motivation around preparing for her arrival and enjoying her music afterward has been wonderful. We couldn't believe how fast the hour went! Parents were also quite excited for this opportunity for their children. I'm excited for when we might get another chance to host Lynette and perhaps enjoy more workshops with her. If you are considering booking a workshop, I highly recommend it!
