TESTIMONIALS
Green Bay Botanical Garden (Yr 1)
“Children and adults alike enjoyed Miss Taku’s engaging and spirited music. The music was culturally –diverse and incorporated the use of many different instruments. Our Fall Festival would not have been the same without Ms Taku’s wonderful blend of song, instrument, dance and inspirational lyrics. She will be back next year!”
Jake Czarnik-Neimeyer, Director of Development and Operations
Green Bay Botanical Garden (Yr 2)
“Ms Taku came back to Green Bay Botanical Garden for a repeat performance at our Fall Family Festival. The variety of instruments and sounds attracted the children to her tent and her enthusiasm kept them there! The kids loved the opportunity to explore Taku’s music with such a hands on approach and she worked wonderfully with kids, and parents, of all ages. Ms. Taku is also willing to give back to the community and non-profit organizations by keeping her fees flexible and affordable.”

"Ms. Taku is absolutely wonderful. She has great energy, and makes drumming & singing fun for people of all ages and all talents. My kids and I have participated in a number of her programs where I work, at my girls' elementary school, and at a community picnic; and we always learn new things, smile and laugh a lot, and feel better about the world when we're done.I have recommended Ms Taku to many people, and have always had the most wonderful experiences with her. She even makes me think I am a good drummer." :)
