Thank you for the most outstanding music program I've ever seen presented to children!
You have such a gift-not only musically, but also for working with kids!

...It was so informative and absolutely delightful! Programs like yours
are especially important for a small community such as ours. It points out in
such a fun and concrete way some of the vast wonders of the world and human
creativity. Our diversity is limitless and incredibly fascinating! Please continue
your programs for children and adults alike. It is a good cause indeed.

I recently served on a grant evaluation panel which considered grants from
across the state. One involved Todd. I commented to the other panel members
that Todd's school presentations here in Albion were the best school programs
I have ever seen either as a student or an adult. His collection of exotic instruments
and his skill in playing them elicited wild applause and even cheers after each
demonstration. Our 8-year old son came home and announced that every child in
the second grade now wants to be a musician, and we are still approached by
parents who are amazed at how excited their high-school age sons and dughters
were. Most commented that their children never mentioned anything that happened
at school, but couldn't stop talking about Todd. Todd's evening concert was
also very well received. He is a rare and gifted musician who presents one of
the most educational and entertaining performances I have ever experienced.

(Adressed
to Merrit Olsen, Director, San Juan Island Community Theater, Friday Harbor,
WA) I was so pleased with my children's interest in Todd Green's performance
that I wanted to thank you! Lilly, Casey and Cody all came home from school
last Friday with a glowing report of how they enjoyed his presentation. I feel
very fortunate that they can have these enriching experiences through the partnership
that the San Juan Island School District and the San Juan Islan Community Theater
have. Cody is in his first year of band and has chosed percussion so he was
especially interested in the various drums Todd played. He even went to his
web site to learn more about him. Thank you for bringing Todd Green to our children
and to our community.

Dear Mr.
Green, My son came home wildly enthusiastic one day after hearing you
play at his school here in Bishop, California. (Thank you for coming!) Since
this time he has taken up the trumpet, a hand-held gourd finger piano and the
Conga!

Thank you for the wonderful performances and musical genius of Mr. Todd
Green. During the morning performance, Todd captivated an audience of over three
hundred local grade school children. His incredible talent held their attention
for the duration of the show. Their enthusiasm was evident through a barrage
of questions for Todd following all of the "ooh's and ahh's."

I would like to thank you for Todd Green's participation in BAM's Education
and Humanities programming for the 2000-2001 season. Many of the students that
we serve are unable to leave the school to visit performing arts institutions,
and we enjoyed offering Todd's performance directly to the students of New York
City. In such a multi-cultural city, Todd's presentation made quite an impression,
as many children were able to hear and see instruments reflecting their own
cultural heritage. The students and teachers alike responded with enthusiasm
to the breadth of information he offered.

I was delighted by Todd Green's performance on Thursday, March 15, 2001
as part of the Class Acts Education Program at the Mahaffey Theater for the
Performing Arts. The 1,200 students and adults who attended the presentation
were treated to a sophisticated, engaging, and beautifully executed program.
Todd Green's demonstrated musicianship and charismatic explanation of the instruments
that share the stage with him provided an intriguing and educational musical
trip around the globe. The process of over-dubbing each instrument was equally
fascinating and relevant to today's technology-inspired classrooms. Thank you
for making this engagement so easy to coordinate and market. The study guide
you sent was very comprehensive and informative. Todd Green's extraordinary
musical talent and gracious rapport with the audience made his performance a
unique and pleasant presenting experience.
