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”
As featured on BBC RADIO 3 and ABSOLUTE RADIO
Next Stage Choir is a fun, non-classical,
‘tutored’ community Choir where vocal development
and skill are as important as the development of the Choir itself
A very warm welcome
It is a known fact that singing reduces stress,
releases endorphins, promotes well-being,
aids a wides range of medical conditions and helps with confidence.
It's fun, progressive and a skill almost anyone can pick up.
The benefits of singing
Without any obligation you can come along
and join a rehearsal, meet choir members
and have a great evening singing.
Come and Sing with Us
The choir is made up of people of all ages and ability who have one thing common.
They love to sing. The standard is high and no matter your ability,
you'll soon be up to speed with the support of great people.
Great Fun, Great People,
Great Music Making

Welcome
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.
