WORKSHOPS
I enjoy tailoring bespoke choral workshops to a broad variety of choirs and organisations with specific requirements.
My workshops can cover a diverse range of musical styles, from Baroque through to Contemporary, including fun and engaging warm ups, rounds and choral 'games'. I have a particular passion for world music, particularly of the African diaspora, but whatever your requirements, I would be delighted to discuss workshop opportunities with you.
I am also thrilled to lead an annual singing holiday in Tuscany, Italy, for all those who love to sing. To find out much more about this lovely opportunity, click here: Antico Borgo La Torre

ANIMATEUR / TEACHER TRAINING
Following training with Sue Hollingworth and Michael Stocks on the Voices Foundation course, I have worked in primary schools as an Animateur and Teacher Trainer all over the country.
I have led projects for a variety of organisations during the last twenty years as a Primary Music Specialist. My teaching relies heavily on kinaesthetic (movement) approaches and draws on the teaching principles of Kodaly and Dalcroze. If you would like to arrange a workshop with your children, or teacher training with your staff, please get in touch.
