“Our middle school children were entranced and so enthused as these three women shared their gifts and the joy of music with them. The learning was so authentic as they learned a new instrument (spoons) and dance (clogging). Most importantly, our children witnessed the sheer pleasure music can bring/add to our lives. The Simple Gifts performers were exemplary in crafting each workshop for the audience so that our students gained the most from the experience. They simply were the best I have seen in reading our middle school students and then adapting their art for ultimate learning.” –– Karen Czarny, Director of Curriculum, School District of Hatboro-Horsham, Horsham PA
