I have always wanted to learn and the way you presented it to me was so clear, easy to understand. You made difficult rhythms seem so easy"
-Daphna Cooling

"Marla led the drumming workshop with such knowledge and enthusiasm that I was totally drawn into the experience. I like artists that have a true passion for what they do and that can convey their own excitement as well as a deep knowledge of their art.”
