Welcome

A very warm welcome to Next Stage Choir.

“Next Stage Choir is a fun, ‘tutored’ community Choir where vocal development and skill are as important as the development of the Choir itself”

Not only do we work on technique but also help on your singing skills, your vocal production and performance, as well as making great music together.

As a professional Producer, Musical Director and Vocal Coach, I have worked with singers, groups and Choirs for over fifteen years including working in and with leading amateur and professional choirs. I am excited to be involved and to continue my work with Next Stage Choir, working with singers of all ages and standards to help them improve and enhance their performance skills. We have built a friendly, dynamic and developing Choir, and one I hope everyone will be part of, and proud and excited to be involved with.
