Testimonials

"Thank you for the amazing effort you put into creating such a fantastic experience for our students. It has been a pleasure to see their enthusiasm and enjoyment from taking part. The one particular event that stands out for us is the amazing impact the program had on one of our students who prior to the program was non-verbal with a vocab of about 5 words, but after your influence has more than doubled in vocab, as well as become much happier in school. You efforts have been so appreciated!"
Lucy Middleton and Angela Phillips, St Joseph’s School, Narrabeen

"I could say thank you a thousand times for what you did. I have never had so much fun in a music lesson...You taught me how to sing and dance in a fun way...I found out that singing in front of a crowd is not so bad. Thank you again”
Tom Harrington, St Mary’s Primary School Myrtleford

“Wow! The A3 was what the kids looked forward to every fortnight. Jane and Jenni were so enthusiastic, motivating and positive. As a musician who had spent years trying t get children to sing I was amazed at how much A3 accomplished. This is a fantastic program, one I hope to see repeated.”
Richard Hannon, St Cecilia’s Wyong

“This program has been one of the best, non – elitist/ inclusive, energetic and engaging activities for all of our students. I have never seen so many students respond so positively and no wonder. a3 blow our socks off every time! The growth in the girls and boys is immensurable. So lucky to be a part of it.”
Jackie Adams- Malen, Holy Cross Kincumber

“The impact of the choral program on the 5/6 students at Holy Rosary, Heathcote has been extraordinary. We have incidents of students coming to school when they could have had a day off because they didn’t want to miss out on the session, students whose demeanour has become totally animated during session times. As one student summed it up in conversation, They make singing fun.”
Dr Kevin Messer, Principal, Holy Rosary, Heathcote

“What a fabulous dance program! The children were engaged, they enjoyed the different music, the variety of dances and all the games! Laura had control of the class, and knew how to involve all children. She is very enthusiastic, polite to all staff and students, organised and the children look forward to dance each week!”
Birralee Primary School

“We have had a wonderful day singing and participating with the 15 other schools. It was an opportunity that will be a special memory in the years to come. Our students have found being part of a choir a rewarding experience. I am sure that for some it will be the highlight of their year....Thank you again”
St Monica’s Wodonga

“Our Sessions have been full of ‘energy’ and lots of smiles and children having fun while learning how to fine tune their voices. Our children are very excited at the prospect of singing in such a beautiful venue for such an important event. Thank you girls for being so passionate and leading our reluctant singers to understand that singing is ‘cool’! You have had a huge impact on our children and we really appreciate it. Thanks”
Peter Shorthouse, St Joseph’s, Rochester

I have had the pleasure of watching Sally and Rebecca at both schools. As a parent, it has been a delight to see my daughters enthusiasm for singing grow week by week. Your voice exercises have been very beneficial to her and she now has an ‘I CAN DO IT’ attitude. Seeing the children practice during their lunchtimes is a joy! Thank you”
Sue Mann, St Liborius and St Therese’s parent

“Dear Ms Gawley
Thank you so much for getting us prepared to sing at the Bendigo Cathedral on Wednesday. I really liked how we sang 'Amazing Grace' in the rockier tune, it was really cool! Our cluster sang 'Kyrie' was such an amazing song and when we sang it at the Cathedral it sounded even better. And what about 'We're all in This Together'! I love High School Musical and had a lot of fun singing it, as well as adding the dance moves to it! I don't even think I could pick a favourite song, they were all my favourite!
When Miss Sabatino and you came to our school I had a ball! I just couldn't wait til the Tuesday when you came to visit.
The vocal exercises were cool and funky, they really helped! 'Tarzan the Jungle man' was so much fun! That was such a cool dance and song. It was fast, poppy, hip, cute – I really liked that one!
I really enjoyed the time that you and Miss Sabatino spent with our school, it was so lively and we never ever got bored! I was really glad that we didn't just practise our songs, but did other stuff too. I was so disappointed, that after we sang at the Cathedral you wouldn't be coming back to teach us more things. I was truly memorised by your conducting. You put in so much effort, and were really punchy. You could tell you had passion for what you were doing! When you conducted 'Kyrie' I felt I could sing it better because I knew what I had to do!
I will be looking forward to the a3 Performing Arts Holiday Program in Bendigo - I can't wait to get back involved with the a3  program.
Thank you so much again, I truly truly appreciate it down from the bottom of my heart!”
Emma Quinn, St. Marys Primary School Echuca – Grade 5
