"It was really cool!"
"It was very fun and exciting"
"This program was a blast"

Mary Beth Reed, North Attleboro Public Schools Enrichment Programs:
"I would recommend your program in a heartbeat!"

Parent whose daughter participates in SMARTS program:
"A big part of (her) satisfaction is that she feels that her ideas are heard and valued, and if she has something to contribute she will most likely get the chance to do just that...And next year my hesitant son may join his sister..."

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Great Attleboro Area:
"The children have learned valuable teamwork and cooperation skills, as well as self confidence...results suggest improved abilities to make decisions, express feelings, develop interests and hobbies, and build self confidence after completing the six week music program...children clearly benefited from an after-school experience in which they felt a sense of belonging and confidence over new skills learned through the introduction of music"

Karen Schofield, Norton Middle School music teacher:
"Innerythms percussionists performed examples of many music genres while focusing on the role of the drummer. After the assembly, students and performers returned to music class and arranged themselves into a drum circle with their assigned instruments. The performners worked with the music class to explore new rhythms and discuss the purpose of the drum circle. Rick's student-friendly stage presence allowed the students to relax and enjoy themselves. We plan on asking Innerythms back again next year for another outstanding educational performance."

"Kids love the idea that I am a musician and making a living at it. Innerythms shows them the versatility in my background: musical theatre, modern dance companies, instrument instruction, as well as performing - that there is more to music and musicians than MTV. They have fun and see first hand a need to be well rounded."
