 Congratulations to our wonderful vocalists for two brilliant concerts today. The standard of singing, and the quality of their original compositions, was very high. Huge thanks to our talented voice coach, Bella Spinks. Videos of today's performances can be viewed on the Voice Lessons page.   The video clips from last week's brilliant piano concert are now available to view on the Piano page.
