“I like everything about the Rising Sun Singers Choir. Choir members are all friendly and Rosie is also friendly and fun. She’s very supportive, positive, inclusive and teaches us a variety of really great songs. She is well connected with other choir leaders and shares lots of information about workshops and events with the choir. This has enabled me to broaden my singing experience. Singing in this choir never fails to lift my spirits!” Cheryl

“It’s perfect for me. I like being confident enough to not worry if I get the notes wrong. I like the mix of challenging and fun songs/sounds Rosie presents each week.” Anne

“It is joyous. All voices are welcome and, although we are small in number, we are learning to develop a nice sound. Some songs are more challenging than others and that adds a sense of achievement, but mostly it is relaxing and fun. Rosie is an excellent teacher, no matter what your singing experience and ability. Her energy and encouragement rubs off on us all and we all look forward to meeting up each week for an hour of sheer enjoyment through singing together.” Choir Member

“I’m so happy I joined this lovely community choir. Rosie is a wonderful choir leader and she comes up with a diverse selection of songs that have the most beautiful harmonies. Such a friendly, inclusive bunch of people too.” S Swindells

“I can’t get enough of Rosie’s choir and I highly recommend Rising Sun Singers for experienced singers or novices alike – such an uplifting, supportive natural singing group.” R Andrews
