Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. Bit of a nasty cold going around the Hawkins children, hopefully it is limited to this house and that age range. If, like us, that gives you some down time this weekend, can I suggest that you take 15 minutes with a pencil to go through your Haydn score and make… Read more →

Welcome back, everyone, good to be back to singing after the Easter break. Reminder in case you read no further – NEXT TWO WEEKS ARE AT TOWER HOUSE SCHOOL, SHEEN LANE. Last night we took a big bite at four of the trickiest movements in the Haydn, and you did a good job of munching through some heavy mouthfuls of… Read more →

Hello all, I hope you have had a good break and have been able to enjoy the sunny days and avoid getting caught in the stormy bits. We are back in rehearsals tomorrow, at Christ Church, and I am very excited to get back to singing and the run-up to our summer concert extravaganza. Since we last met, we have… Read more →
