The workshop with Paul worked very well in our opinion. It is a great medium for children with issues such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder and Developmental Co-ordination Disorder to explore. It required them to listen to instructions, watch other people and take turns, as well as using both hands together and exert appropriate force on the drums.

"The workshop led by Paul Hans Bennet was a resounding success. His command of the children,ranging in age from 8 to 16 years old,was exemplorary and his organisation was faultless.
The youngsters were engaged from start to finish and entered into the many varying tasks with enthusiasm and stamina. They were drumming for almost two hours with a short tuck break inbetween sessions.
Paul`s interaction with the children was excellent and his approach encouraging and confidence building.I would confidently recommend this workshop to any organisation.
