Dave Holland’s visit to New Mountain Hill Elementary was truly extraordinary! His captivating storytelling brought The Llama Who Rocked in Her Polka Dot Socks and Itsy Bitsy Blues to life, mesmerizing both students and staff. The highlight of his visit was the unforgettable drum circle he led for our Pre-K through 2nd graders. Seeing the children’s faces light up as they drummed along with Dave was simply heartwarming. His seamless blend of music, rhythm, and storytelling created an engaging and interactive experience that had every child fully immersed. Dave’s passion for music and literature shone brightly throughout his visit, inspiring our students to explore their own creativity. We couldn’t have asked for a more enthusiastic and talented guest—Dave Holland left a lasting and positive impact on our entire school community!

Dave was a breath of fresh air at our school! Teachers and students were engaged and happy to be making music and enjoying his book. Dave’s presentation not only energizes kids about drumming, but it also makes literacy fun! As an Orff-Schulwerk educator, I can attest that Dave’s presentations are helping kids to sing, say, dance and play in a well-sequenced and positive manner. The classroom teachers have been begging me to book him again for this year! I would highly recommend bringing him to your school for a day that everyone will remember for a long time!
