WORK WITH CHOIRS AND SINGING GROUPS
Having trained and worked as a primary and English language teacher for many years before going into music full time, Judith has a passion for making sure her teaching is clear, precise and empowering. She uses every possible method to clarify tunes and harmonies, and her hands clearly show where melody lines go for as long as it takes for singers to really take ownership of the pieces. She invariably teaches by ear, believing in creating groups that are open to all, regardless of music learning and experience. She often includes improvisation in her approach, bringing elements of spontaneity and creativity to groups she works with and never loses the excitement of that moment when the voices come together to create a harmonious whole, and her joy in this is infectious. Judith is happy to lead one-off sessions for events and ongoing groups, please contact her if you’d like to book her for your choir or organisation.
