Still not sure? Here's some recommendations by previous participants
"What I love is that you get a real sense of achievement very quickly - Jenny has the ability to bring the harmonies together with ease so you are soon making a lush, beautiful sound together"
"I don't sing with a regular choir so it's brilliant to get the buzz and feelgood factor of singing with others in an easy bite-size afternoon workshop"
"Jenny is simply one of the best teachers around - patient, encouraging, knowledgeable, clear - she creates an atmosphere which is relaxed, friendly and fun"
"I love Jenny's warm ups - I feel my voice has been cared for and my voice is really "in" my body before we even start singing"
