Just to say that Gareth's skill and determination paid off again. He is able to get alongside students, whatever their background and encourage them as only he can. It was a moving series for me to watch and I know those boys will not forget their experience in that choir. Am full of admiration for Gareth and in my humble opinion he should receive an accolade for recognition of his expertise, his empathy, his tenacity but most of all for his unique ability to touch the lives of young people in such a positive way.

How wonderful to get those boys singing, those kids ooze natural talent and to have the chance to sing because it is OK to do so, to be "cool" with the gang, as they say, was truly awe inspiring. May more children be inspired by the likes of you and the amazing Gareth. Our 11 year old instantly thought you were OK when he heard you sing Beautiful Girl by Shaun Kingston!

You are an inspirational team! Many thanks for touching my spirit! Wonderful to be reminded that boys who rap can also love singing if they can see how to align their talents and energy with it.

We had never heard of the ensemble and thought that they were just awesome, both in their performance and attitude. We are very keen to have a cd of their singing. Are there any on the market yet?

Their choice of song, "Cry Me A River" was so fit for purpose too. Their style of delivery had an amazing, immediate transformational effect on the boys' attitude and behaviour towards creating music. I think all secondary school music and P.E.teachers in the UK need to go on a creative course with Sense of Sound. Gareth Malone, through his work and TV series is raising so many issues around creativity, (or lack of it), in education today. Let's have a TV series featuring the work of Sense of Sound and more of Gareth's innovative, brave, pioneeering work! One or two things really struck me, the first was the incredible sound
