Testimonials

Greenmount National School

“Patrick has just completed a nine-week drumming course for 5th and 6th class students of Greenmount National School. During that time I found Patrick to be extremely efficient, reliable and punctual in all his dealings with both staff and students. The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience while acquiring a new skill. Patrick’s enthusiasm was infectious and he has an excellent rapport with the students. I am delighted to recommend Patrick Naughton to you.”

“The ” Full Percussion Circle” band was enjoyed by all classes, young and old in a recent visit to our school. The variety of instruments and rhythms kept all children enthralled and entertained. Everyone, even the teachers were given an opportunity to dance, sing and take part. Great rapport was developed between performers and audience. We loved it – so will you. Thanks and best wishes.”

School of the Holy Cross

“Patrick has been teaching drumming in our school since September last. The senior cycle has just completed a nine – week course facilitated by Patrick culminating in a very enjoyable interactive session with parents at Christmas.This was an extremely positive learning experience for the students and because of this our junior cycle, including early start pre – school has just commenced (parent and child) another drumming course with Patrick. Patrick is a superb tutor, he is kind and patient with the children and they respond so well to his teaching methods. Even the most reluctant participants are fully engaged by the end of the lesson. The children and the teachers look forward with great enthusiasm to their weekly sessions. they love it. I heartily recommend Patrick Naughton to you.”

Limerick School Project

“Patrick Naughton has completed a six-week drumming workshop in our school. Patrick worked with all of our class from junior infants to sixth. The weekly workshops were enjoyed by our pupils and teachers are very pleased with the progression in skills displayed by the children. The workshops developed a sense of rhythm and beat and improved listening skills and concentration in the pupils. I am happy to recommend Patrick if your school would like to introduce drumming to your pupils.”
