K-12 TESTIMONIALS

Lincoln Elementary School, Little Falls, MN
...He captured the students' attention immediately with his array of intriguing instruments and held it for the entire one-hour performance. Afterward, I heard many veteran teachers comment that they had never seen the student, even the Kindergarteners, sit so quietly for so long. Todd's engaging style allowed him to teach the students not only about the music and instruments from around the globe, but also about geography, cultural traditions, and accepting differences... The evening performance was extremely well attended, especially for an event of this nature in our community... It is now two weeks after the performance and I still hear students talking about him; they even remember the names of the instruments he played!

Morris Community Education, MN
...I was very impressed with Todd’s ability to work with and hold the attention of both elementary and high school students. They were so fascinated by all of the different instruments, the unique and different sounds they made, and the many countries they came from. It truly was a musical trip around the world... Todd's evening concert was also well received. Even with another event going on in the same building there were still over 250 people in attendance. I had some parents tell me that their child chose to come to the concert over going to a sporting event…Please thank Todd for broadening our musical awareness. He is and outstanding musician. His music is so amazing and spiritually invigorating...

Hill City High School, KS
...While our students regularly attend assemblies that address social issues, such as self-esteem, and the dangers of drugs and alcohol, they rarely get the opportunity to see and talk with someone like Todd Green, who celebrates art and culture from around the world. His performance was not only amazing from a technical and musical point of view, but was incredibly informative about the history and depth of global musical traditions. In this time of international tensions, especially between the United States and the Middle East, I am hopeful that Todd's careful demonstration of Middle Eastern instruments and music will help build a little more understanding and tolerance in our students...

Brooklyn Academy of Music, NY
...Many of the students that we serve are unable to leave the school and visit performing arts institutions, and we enjoyed offering Todd's performance directly to the students of New York City. In such a multicultural city, Todd's presentation made quite an impression, as many children were able to hear and see instruments reflecting their own cultural heritage. The students and teachers alike responded with enthusiasm to the breadth of information he offered...

Corning Community School, IA
...As a small, rural community in one of the poorest areas of the state, our children are not afforded the opportunity to fine arts programs, nor are most adults in our community. I can honestly say that Todd Green's musical performance was the most powerful and influential program that I've seen in my twenty years in education. I was concerned that our youngest children would have a difficult time focusing for such a program, but to my pleasant surprise, they were riveted. Todd did an outstanding job mixing education with humor and kept all of our students entertained. Our staff is still talking about the wonderful program. Many students returned for the evening concert, attended by over 250 patrons, which says a great deal about the impact he had...

San Juan Island Community Theater, WA
(From a parent) I was so pleased with my children's interest in Todd Green's performance that I wanted to thank you!  Lilly, Casey and Cody all came home from school last Friday with a glowing report of how they enjoyed his presentation. I feel very fortunate that they can have these enriching experiences through the partnership that the San Juan Island School District and your theater have. Cody is in his first year of band and has chosen percussion so he was especially interested in the various drums Todd played. He even went to his website to learn more about him...

Caughlin Ranch Elementary, NV
Fabulous - Interesting - Held the attention of 7-year old autistic student - Quite a feat! Music was beautiful. Children should see more programs such as this.
