Sound Architect

Every time Sound Architect hosts a session all the participants and supervisors are asked to complete a simple evaluation form. Here are some of the results!

Absolutely brilliant – such an exciting day!
Very good. Great support. Facilitators have very enabling skills and great sense of humour.
They all got loads out of it. It drew them out and encouraged their creativity
To sum up, I’d need all the superlative words in the Oxford dictionary!
It was a joy to see the young people totally engaged.
Excellent opportunity for young people to do something different
Surpassed every expectation.
The young people began to interact with each other and help each other out.
Excellent day and massive benefits for participants, particularly developing social skills and interaction.

When asked to sum up their favourite and least favourite aspects of the day, the participants gave these comments:

I loved making music and hated nothing!
My favourite bit was making my own CD.
My computer kept crashing, which wasn’t so good.
Everything was brilliant.Making music and listening to it was the best.
I didn’t want to go home – that was the worst bit of the day.
Doing the music on the computer was good – and I like the park at lunchtime.
Making my own music. Awesome!

Participants moved swiftly from an initial state of agitation or apathy to action and interest.The creativity within the day promoted positive images and self worth for most of them.
The work provided an outlet for their emotional and artistic expression replacing more negative or reserved conditions in some participants
For several individuals the workshop served as a respite from their anxiety, or stressful condition.
It was very apparent that for many participants the workshop diverted their attention from their personal tensions or fears.
