Pages of Music with Rolf and Carrie

"I can't imagine who would not be interested… This was an outstanding program. Our students were fully engaged and interested. This was a wonderfully entertaining and rich educational experience for our students. The performance quality was excellent. Bravo!"

"The musicians knew 'how' to talk to second graders… Please come back here!"

"Thanks for the wonderfully educational and entertaining program for our students… you captured the attention and imagination of our inner-city kids!"

"This was an excellent presentation. The children were engaged from the beginning. They obviously had great fun learning about your instruments and the fun/joy of music… stay longer"

"Pages of Music was a delightful musical experience for our 4 and 5 year olds. The children loved the performance and participated throughout. I highly recommend it for all ages."

"Simply wonderful! The kids wanted more. Could (you) stay a whole day?

"We found this to be one of the best programs we have been able to offer our students. The combination of literature, storytelling, and music put this presentation in a class by itself."

"It was great to get the students involved. This was very age appropriate for kindergartners."

"It was also great to get string instrument exposure. With the budget cuts, so many students never see string instruments (no orchestra in school anymore). Thanks so much! We really enjoyed the program."

"Wow! Very engaging. End of the day and you held 2 classes captive for an hour with great music and great stories! You have an amazing presentation. All schools should experience your talents!"

"Terrific presentation. You work so well together. Our students were totally engaged. You are both so talented. I'm sure that other schools in the area would love your presentation."

"I loved watching the kids — they danced and reacted to the music with great abandon. I would recommend Pages of Music to other teachers and librarians many times over."

"The kids loved the "parade" and they seemed spellbound as the stories were read and the music was played."

"When you first play, you grab the kids with the sound."

"It was fun and the literature connection was perfect!"

"… very animated, good speaking level for 3rd graders."

"Rolf and Carrie have that 'special something' it takes to work with large groups of kids."

"Pages of Music with Rolf and Carrie made the music of Mozart come alive for the students. They made the music fun and accessible to all."

"Thank you for coming to our school to teach us about instruments."

"Thank you for coming. I liked the parade a lot because I was in it! … I liked the music a lot it was the best music I ever heard... I would play the oboe because it sounds good."

"One day I would like to play the bass."

"The part I liked the most was listening to the instruments. Hope you visit again in second grade"

"I love your music and I would love to see you again."

"You're so AWESOME!"

"Thank you for telling us about the oboe and the bass. I hope I can play the drums. I liked the stories a lot. It was fun seeing you play. I hope we can see you next year."

"I especially liked the oboe, I've never saw one before. I learned how to tell the difference between an oboe and clarinet."

"The sounds were exciting."

"I liked learning about Mozart, especially his full name!"

"I liked the book about the shepherds and their music, I could listen to that music every day."

"Good job doing the oboe and the bass maybe I want to play one of those when I grow up."

"Thank you for coming to our school to play for us. I really liked when you played together at the beginning. And I liked all the stories you read to us… I like both of the instruments you play. I'm sad I didn't get to walk in the parade but I still liked the parade."

"You play really good music."

"I loved when you played your instruments together "

"I loved the instruments and the parade."

"My favorite part was the parade and the snake charmer song."

"I liked the music and the stories, but my favorite was the parade"

"I hope you can come back again"
