‘This truly was the most incredible feeling I had had for a while … [participating in the Brazilian and Caribbean ensemble] made me so happy that I was smiling on the inside and the

  • utside’.

‘To actually have the opportunity to play [Balinese] instruments gives a sense of “realness” to the student. It magnifies the experience and makes it more meaningful and memorable’. ‘…by the end of the semester many friendships had developed which I believe will continue throughout our time at university … This sense of understanding, support and community was very special and a new experience for me’.
