We invited Sasha to bring Let's Jam program for our daughters' birthday party. You made it special! I like when kids can play together but I always looking for some memorable experience which they can share together with their friends. So your music program fitted well in our birthday party celebration. It was interesting to see how the kids at first didn't expect anything special and were surprised and shy in the beginning, and how they get involved and were active to participate and even doing solo playing at the end. Everyone really enjoyed playing drums and other percussion instruments. The kids were feeling the bit and happy to perform!
Natalie Silver - Great job Sasha! Thanks for being with us!
My grade 3 class loved Sasha's Let's Jam program! The program was hands-on, dynamic, creative and inspiring. All my students, including the special needs students, were engaged, motivated and enthusiastically participating in all aspects of the program. Sasha's personality, passion and experience created an ideal learning environment. Thank you Sasha for an amazing program. I look forward to another Let's Jam session.

On February 15, 2018 K.A.S.I.A Preschool had a wonderful opportunity to have “Let’s Jam Programs”. As we celebrated Black History month, Sasha and Pradeep added a rich experience through drumming and movement! The children had the opportunity to hear the different afro beats and jam on various drums and instruments. The children enjoyed waving the provided coloured handkerchiefs as they danced along to the rhythms. It was all fantastic! I personally really enjoyed the rain drum ( such a calming sound), overall @Kerry-annfaceydenton and I truly enjoyed it, and the children did too!!! I’m sure we will definitely have another session in the near future! Job well done!!!!

Sasha really has a way of getting everyone engaged, no matter what anyone's "ability" may be. She creates a warm inviting environment, combining multiple elements into her workshops. Whether it is drumming and song creation, to movement expression through dancing. She covers it all while still maintaining a serene open and highly accepting environment. This is something that definitely comes from the heart and can be felt through what she creates in the atmosphere through her sessions. Camp AOK is really lucky to have this experience with such a dedicated person! I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for something fun, engaging & different! You can't help but have a lot of fun yourself alongside your participants

Thank you so much, Sasha, for sharing your talents, enthusiasm and passion with our Grade 10 Drama class. Your drumming and creative movement workshop was a great success! It was wonderful to see the students grow in terms of risk-taking and confidence under your leadership. What a wonderful opportunity! All the best!

We had so much fun with Sasha & Let's Jam at Hand Over Hand's Music Festival. All of the participants got into the music and the movement and Sasha was great at making everyone feel comfortable.
Natalie Colaiacovo
Our students had a BLAST participating in Sasha's drumming session! They were engaged, and channeled their "inner musicians"! Laughing, chanting, singing and "marching to the beat of different drummers" made for a merry hour of talented artists! Thanks for a great time, Sasha - hope to try another session in the near future!
Gabe Palumbo - Resource Teacher
Sasha facilitated a music session at the Centre for Dreams. It was a fun and interactive experience. She brought all sorts of interesting instruments for the members to try out. This music session was effective in teaching our members the importance of team building as well as appropriate ways to express emotions and behaviours. This was achieved through Sasha’s unique activities and optimistic personality. A big thank you to Sasha and Let's Jam for a fun morning.”
Rabia M- Support Staff at the Centre for Dreams
“This group has helped set friendships for the future of my son and build a support system for the parents. The kids assist with setting up before the programs starts; they participate in activities that teach them rhythm and movement. They learn to interact with the program instructor (Sasha Brathwaite) and other participants as they develop team building skills.
Through this group, my dream has come true and it is very rewarding to watch the kids
participate and involved with their parents. “The Let's Jam” program is both calming and therapeutic for all participants. I noticed my son was very happy and his fine motor skills have improved a lot while learning to play various instruments. I am truly grateful to Community Living York South for this opportunity.”
Stinder - Parent
Let’s Jam music sessions are very beneficial because it helps train the kids to follow
direction and routines. The music component helps them to learn various beats and enhances sensitivity. It allows an opportunity for the kids to socialize, learn about each other and build friendships.”

Mary - Parent

movement. He looks forward to coming because he enjoys the social aspect of the group as well. We enjoy coming as parents, we can observe how engaged the group is while getting a break.”

The program was lots of fun and helped me make new friends.”

I would like to acknowledge Sasha's amazing program "Let's Jam". I was able to experience Sasha's creativity, openness, and amazing talent when I invited her to be a part of our company BBQ with Community Living- Grimsby, Lincoln & West Lincoln. She was extremely pleasant to work with and maintained professional and friendly when interacting with clients or individuals from our organization. I would highly recommend Sasha as she is welcoming, and her energy is contagious!
