I would like to ask of everyone that we respect each other and support each other so that it remains a relaxed and friendly enviroment to sing and let down our barriers.


A BIG VOICE:
As a professional singer and vocal coach I understand how to get the best out of individuals voices and also teach privately one-one for the more serious singer. I still perform regularly both as a solo and in a Duo and bands. I am accustomed to running music groups for toddlers right through to professional adult performers and amateur dramatic societies. (please see website www. abigvoice. co. uk for details and Testimonials).

Singing is a great emotional release and enjoyable hobby, especially singing together in a large group. It's our birthright so open your mouth and set your voice free.
