Lanching...

Richard is launching a brand new set of choirs called Take Note, starting from September 2020. Because of the current restrictions it will start online initially, moving to 'in person' later in the year. It is all about delivering FUN, lively rehearsals whilst developing musicianship. With Richard's extensive experience of running choirs and recent research from abroad, plus the musical expertise of Chris Hall's outstanding accompanying ability, this is a winning combination!
