What people are saying

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the teachers and everyone involved at TOPS. My children are getting so much out of the project and it has given me a nudge on remembering how to read and count music. The concert on Sunday was excellent and we’re looking forward to next term!”

“As parents we are so happy with the environment. They learned new things and they had some changes in their daily lifes. The way they listed to music also different now. Not just listening but also making proper comments about it. Seeing all this makes me proud and happy. Thanks for making this available. I hope you can reach more children in the TOP program.”

“I learned notes. I started liking classical music. I joined a band in my school. And I made new friends.”

“It was good because I got to make new friends and get to play music that I couldn’t before. I liked doing concerts because I got to show off to my parents. I played glockenspiel, timpani, bongos, tambourine, crash cymbal, agogo bells and i tried the big bass drum. My favourite was timpani.”

“I loved it because I made a whole new groups of friends and learned a new instrument and got to perform to an audience of thousands. Even if you are young you can still feel great up on stage.”
