I've only been in a few (since I have a day job), but it's always great to play for young kids, who are just so uninhibited in their enjoyment of the music. The hardest part, though, is picking kids for our Audience Participation segment. There are always lots of kids who want to play, and only so many drums, so some kids are disappointed that they don't get a chance.

But we haven't had a chance to do any school workshops yet. It is something we also hope to make a big part of our activities when we return to Michigan. Maybe we'll have to ask you guys for some advice... I played taiko at a nursing home once, and we’ll play at another one in August and a hospital as well.
