What’s On
Sending big love to all of my singing community!
I feel I have been so fortunate to be able to teach choirs and workshops for the first half of this year. As you know, it is hard to plan ahead at the moment, and all events for the second half of 2021 are now cancelled or postponed till we have more certainty around restrictions for singing and choirs.
Read on for details of what’s coming up in 2022!
I would so love you to join me at one of my Singing Workshops or on a Singing Holiday, as soon as it is safe to do so.
