Join a community choir…
SOUNDBYTES – DECIBELLES – SONGWORKS
I run choirs in the community, and the workplace and hold singing workshops.
“My aim is to reveal the individual’s unique, powerful and natural singing voice but to do so in an informal and fun atmosphere.
I believe anyone who wants to sing, can.”
Have you been thinking about joining a choir?
I currently run three different types of choirs to suit different types of singers.

All together now…
Singing, it seems, is a gift. We discovered melody even before we learned to speak. The first sounds we made using “dadada” and “rrr” enabled us to create our own communicative environment. Father or mother may have joined in later and rocked us to sleep while singing or humming a melody. This gift remains with us throughout our lives, we sing in grief and in joy, when we are alone or in the company of others. People with severe dementia are frequently unable to recognise their own family, but they remember songs from their childhood, humming the melodies or even singing entire verses faultlessly. Our memories and emotions are linked to these songs.
Singing brings people together.
Singing in a group releases endorphins which studies show counteract the harmful stress hormone cortisol, allowing our immune systems to keep us healthy in body and in mind. When we sing together, we breathe together and there is strong evidence to suggest that not only does singing lower heart rates, our hearts even beat in time with each other..! Now there’s a thought.
