"Mr. Balcom... I offer to you both thanks and appologies:
I really thought this was going to be a waste of my time and I was very close to leaving before it started... so I felt compelled to tell you how much I truly enjoyed this experience...it was nothing like I expected and I left feeling like I would be a better leader in many aspects of my life because of this experience."

"I enjoyed participating in the group.  It was a refreshing experience to see the principles of music therapy being applied so skillfully in a non-institutional setting.   The leader and the group participants  were certainly focused.  They used the drumming circle as a way to identify and understand their current life challenges as well as a way to get energy and affirmation to move forward with their own recovery."
