To Whom It May Concern;

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Zoë Kessler. Zoë worked with my Grade 5 class at Norway Public School over a four week period. She introduced the students to the world of drumming with zest and passion!

Before our sessions, Zoë prepared detailed lesson plans which directly related to the Ontario music curriculum. As a teacher, I found this very helpful. During classes, Zoë inspired the students to really engage in their experience. She was sensitive to those who were at first apprehensive. At the same time, Zoë offered extra challenges to those students who were quickly competent.

Through our classes with Zoë I watched the students develop a love of drumming which was definitely due to Zoë's positive and encouraging teaching style. I would highly recommend the Cultural Kaleidoscope Drumming Programme with Zoë Kessler!
