Hide AdShe has sung in choirs both large and small, taught individuals, coached groups and continues to perform as a soloist.
She said: “There’s no better place to hear the human voice in song than at St John’s, with its wonderful acoustic.
"The West Gallery style of music, sometimes accompanied by instruments, is known for its tuneful harmonies and overlapping (or fuguing) melodies.
"New singers are welcome, though some sight-reading ability will be useful.”

The informal service, with readings and music, at 10.30am on Sunday December 10 and will continue monthly on the second Sunday of each month.
