Specialisms

Singing leading, music primary teaching, drum circles

Additional information

I lead Fellside Singers (by myself) and The Growing Singers (in partnership with Clare Elleray Mee)

My many years’ experience of primary school teaching have involved tons of singing, drumming and other percussion playing including signing songs and using actions to enhance musical experiences. Being an Advanced Skills Teacher has allowed me to share my love of music making with colleagues from all over the county.

I sing in a quartet called Pandora’s Handbag – a group of friends who love to chat, snack and drink tea as well as sing beautiful harmonies!

My choirs

Fellside Singers
Description

Fellside Singers are a group that sing together for the joy of it, and who perform locally with a repertoire of folk, traditional and contemporary music that’s fun to sing and lovely to hear. I began leading the group in 2013 and we are affiliated to the NVN.

Session times

Thursday evenings from 7.30 to 9.30pm.

The Chorus Sessions
Description

Singing for the joy of it and to connect with others. Singing glorious harmony songs from around the world with a friendly bunch of others. Good for us physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, musically! No music reading skills necessary. Just bring your willingness to sing.

Mondays: The Mid-Morning Chorus at 10.30am

Mondays: The Twilight Chorus at 7pm

Tuesdays: The Dawn Chorus at 9.30am

Clare Elleray Mee and I run these three sessions so you may meet either one of us on those days.

See the website for the details of the dates as these do not always follow school term-times.

Come for a free session, just to see if you like it.

Session times

Monday and Tuesdays of the week

The Growing Singers
Description

A NEW community choir in Kendal started in January 2023. We perform, we fundraise, we sing glorious songs from around the world and improve all our lives and the world more widely a little touch!  We have two song leaders for this group, as I’m joined by Clare Elleray Mee. 

Session times
