We love singing, do you?
We run one-off choral sessions that are encouraging and fun. They are suitable for beginners and experienced singers alike. Whether you sing in a choir or in the shower you’re welcome at any of our events. Our popular whole day seasonal workshops are now back!
Monday 18 December
10am to 4pm
Priory Church of St Laurence, Blackmore, Essex
Beautifully decorated warm church; good to sing festive songs and carols.
A stupendous day. Fantastic variety of music and plenty of time to explore it.
Christine and Frances founded Arbutus Music in 2008 and have led well over 100 singing workshops together since then.
Invigorating, fun, lively, challenging and inspiring are terms that have come up again and again in feedback from the 1000 or so participants, who range from raw beginners to experienced singers.
Christine conducts Valentine Singers, in Redbridge, and also Writtle Singers, a chamber choir based near Chelmsford. With these choirs she has toured extensively in Europe and performed at many prestigious UK venues. She is also a very experienced accompanist and leads a weekly workshop for adult pianists.
Frances specialises in working with adults who are new to group singing, running regular classes that enable people to explore their voice, enjoy a great new hobby and build vital choral singing skills.
Both Frances and Christine are qualified teachers and members of the ISM.
