Previous Client Feedback: Thank-you so much for taking time out of your schedule (as I know you are ultra-busy) to travel to Doomadgee and train our group. We received great information out of the training, and great confidence in facilitating our own drumming sessions. Everyone enjoyed themselves over the weekend. Janine, as an instructor, you were such an inspiration to us all, in so many different ways. The workshop content and facilitation techniques were well-directed, as you were able to convey the information to us all, who were such a mixed group of people at all different levels of skills and abilities. It was lovely to meet you, you are truly an amazing and inspirational person The school holidays have since commenced, and we have conducted two sessions on our own. I noticed that we have made great progress in our skills between the first and second week, and each week we are analysing what we can do to make the following week even better. By the second week, we were more confident in our facilitation skills, and had good support from the other facilitators. We noticed that the kids enjoyed playing alongside other adults from the community, and sharing the joy of making music with those that they aspire to. The program is building momentum with each week, and more community leaders are supporting troubled kids to build the courage to attend and participate. Steve and Adrielle, who attended the weekend workshop, are also gaining their own courage to facilitate in front of the group, and are keen to lead the group next week. The drumming program has been great at breaking down the communication barrier between police and community, and it provides a good situation where the community can approach police and ask questions in a non-confrontational setting.
