Dear Sagit:
Thank you for the sensational show. Your program reminds everyone to listen to the sounds all around us. The sound of the pattering of rain, the whistling of wind and the most powerful sound of all.....the shushing of a librarian! But no one was shushing at your great program as everyone enjoyed the sounds of all your instruments, your singing and your music from around the world. At the end, we heard one of the best sounds of all.....the sound of many hands clapping! Thank you for coming and striking such a positive "chord" in our library.
Sincerely,
Mark A. Malcolm, Children's Librarian, Maynard Public Library, Maynard, MA - on July 10th 2019
“Sagit was amazing! she had the kids dancing and singing along. We learned about the creation of the world and we listened to music from all over the world. This is an excellent program for young children. I highly recommend Sagit for libraries and schools.”

"My deepest gratitude for an absolutely stellar performance at our library. Everyone highly praised your artistry and warm rapport with the families. Your interactive show is wonderfully refreshing and cultivates an appreciate and respect for our world's diversity. one of our patrons praised you very, very highly and was so appreciative of the warmth you showed her boys.
In my opinion, It was a wonderful interactive show that engaged both the children and grownups, bringing everybody together in a joyous celebration of global awareness, and if anyone would like to speak with me to receive a reference I'm happy to provide that."

"Sagit is a very talented musician. She is easy to work with and very professional. Her Songs of Peace program was amazing. The variety of instruments that she includes fascinated those who attended the program. Our audience included families with young children to adult students from the local International Institute. They enjoyed being able to become a part of the program. All spoke highly of the program afterwards. It was one of the best programs we had this summer. We will definitely have Sagit come back. – Karyn Isleb, Head of Youth Services, Manchester City Library, Manchester, NH on 8/14

"Sagit is very talented, her calming presence really sets people at east. Patrons throughly enjoyed the group dance"
Songs of Peace program review by Annamarie Almeida, Children's Librarian at Somerville Library, MA
"It was a pleasure to work with Sagit. She was very professional. She arrived on time and ready to work with our audience. She is charming and warm and her music was inspiring. The participants in the workshop were delighted with the presentation. They especially enjoyed the opportunity to make music themselves. All in all a highly enjoyable evening."
Dorothy Keller, Branch Director, Faneuil Branch Library, MA
"I would like to thank Sagit for holding a music and meditation workshop at our branch library...
Her variety of musical instruments was beautiful and interesting and I think helped to center participants’ focus. We had a couple of adult patrons and a couple of teen patrons who participated. The workshop seemed adaptable to all who were present. Also, patrons commented afterward that they felt relaxed and/or that they learned something new about the practice of meditation. We would love to have Sagit come back. Patrons who missed the workshop are hoping there will be another one."

Schools
"In a world where kids (and adults) are constantly moving with little time to stop and just be, Sagit's program helped them be present in the moment. She helped them to relax with music and took their minds on a journey to calming places and thoughts. It was truly a great experience. Thank you Sagit!

"Sagit presents Music & Dance for children in a way that very naturally and respectfully draws them into it. The children are curious about her instruments and are eager to sing and move along with her music.”

Sagit Zilberman’s quiet, calm and serene approach to the children coupled with her radiant smile, captivated the preschoolers as she walked softly among them with the largest rain stick they had ever seen. The most active child was engaged and captivated by the sounds emerging from her instrument. As she introduced her saxophone, percussion instruments, and many other instruments, Sagit maintained the curiosity of the children, as she intentionally provided interactive activities to encourage the full active participation of all of the children. Sagit has a spiritual presence, and uniquely extraordinary talents which she combines into one act sharing Jewish hymns and engaging the children with song and dance. She reigns at the top of her field. All of children and their enthralled teachers did not want her program to end! Sherri Herschfeld, Director, Shaare Shamaim preschool, Philadelphia, Pa.

Sagit Zilberman is a talented, creative and spiritual musician. We had the pleasure of enjoying her performance at Adath Israel Religious School last Sunday.

All students and teachers felt inspired by Sagit's unique personality and teaching style.

Thank you for your amazing and inspiring performance yesterday! You held all the children’s attention from our 4 year olds to our toddlers. They were fascinated by your soft-spoken, lyrical voice and your instruments. A teacher came to me after the short performance and said you were magical! High praise from this twenty-six year teaching veteran! We can’t wait to have you back. Please email me when you will be back in Baltimore, we will set a date.
Jill Eisen, Director, Baltimore Hebrew School, Baltimore, MD.

Mindfulness and yoga workshops
"Sagit creates an ambiance of love through music & sound. We invited her to do this at our women's empowerment retreat weekend, Rise Gatherings, in the Pocono Mountains. Sagit exudes warmth and love and her energy invites all to join her. Her unique approach to creating an ambience is done by her use of many instruments that make endless melodies. She uses her intuitive sense to give exactly what is needed to help the participants grow as individuals and also to connect the community as a whole. Her playful candor is sweet and sincere and she has a way with engaging the audience so that they partake in making music as well, giving them an opportunity to try something new and unique and to empower themselves because of it. The women of Rise love Sagit and we look forward to having her genius a part of more gatherings."
- Rachel Rubin, Co-Creator of Rise Gatherings "Sagit provided a gentle blanket of music and sound healing during a workshop I facilitated at a recent women’s retreat. Sagit used various instruments and vibrations to increase the effectiveness of acupuncture and saturate the room with a beautiful soundscape. The participants reported that they experienced ease and relaxation during their session and were able to go deeper into a state of relaxation. Sagit is a talented musician who has the ability to use her instruments in a way that speaks to the individual ‘bodies' in the room and she is able to open the potential for deep healing."
-Magen Conover - Healing Place Acupuncture LLC |
"Sagit's music and natural healing capacities kept us present and attentive, deepened the practice and connected us to ourselves more and more. Sagit is highly skilled in playing all her instruments and each of them provides a different source of energy and playfulness with the sounds and vibrations within the space. She facilitates the space wisely and goes around the room with her Didge and Rainstick to engage in sound healing. She is a golden spirit and I'm glad she could spend her time with us."
