I enjoy choir so much - the song choices are great, and getting to sing such beautiful arrangements which make such a great sound, is so satisfying.
Bridget
TUNBRIDGE WELLS Mondays
Being able to access the music through the website and practice just my part at home is amazing. I've played it like a billion times and even tried singing my soprano part whilst playing the alto part. I'm far from perfect but I'm a lot better than I was!
