Rhythms Connect Us Around the World

Testimonials
The instruments shared by Mary reflected many of the cultures of the children in our school. Mary’s presence and teaching style was a wonderful example of how the various modalities of learning can be accessed. She also had an amazing rapport with all the students by balancing the high energy and calming portions of the performance.
Dean of Elementary Division, St. Benedict’s Prep
She is possibly the best we ever had here at Forum. It was great to have her on the 28th for workshops and the 29th for interactive performance. She is a truly amazing person, musician, and educator.
Music Teacher, Forum School
Mary Knysh outshined all of my expectations. Faculty mentioned it was the best assembly they had seen at this school, and the kids were involved and engaged the whole time.

Mary is great, talented and generous with her talents. The students loved this interactive and informative show.
Principal, YCS GWS
Students enjoyed the music as well as the stories and the information that the artist presented to them. The artist also appropriately adjusted her performance between the younger and older grades. (two assemblies).
