From Midday Melodies…

I love the simplicity of the songs and beautiful harmonies – I leave feeling uplifted and revitalised.

Sarah Upton, Bristol

I’m not at all confident about my singing and was really nervous about singing with a small group of people I didn’t know but Renee made me feel like the most important thing is to enjoy doing it and not to worry about how I sound. She made the sessions fun and really put me at ease. At the end of each session everyone always commented on how great it had been and how much they had enjoyed it. Every week I was completely absorbed in the songs and found myself singing along on my way back to work.

I have been in other singing groups and this has been the best. Renee is such a good teacher!

From the Orchard Choir…

‘Thank you – this provided a bit of soul therapy for me at a time when it’s easy to lose yourself in Motherhood and not doing anything for ‘me’ ‘.

Dawn K, Orchard Choir, Bristol

 

‘Orchard choir makes my week. Such a friendly, open and accepting group. Renee chooses gorgeous songs that are balm for the soul and paces everything perfectly. I feel rejuvenated by every session’

Amy H, Orchard Choir, Bristol

 

‘Renee has such a fun and relaxed way of running the group, enabling us to learn the songs easily, enjoying singing them and letting go!’

Katrina W, Orchard Choir, Bristol

 

‘The choir has been a complete discovery for me, I had no idea I was going to enjoy 
this much’

Workshops…..

Away Day Workshop for NHS and University Collaboration Project

Renee delivered a one hour singing workshop in the middle of our away day. Her relaxed, informal yet professional style put everyone immediately at their ease and within a few minutes everyone was focused on Renee and following her lead to begin making sounds and soon after, the group was singing in harmony which surprised us all!

Within the hour we had sung three different songs, with at least three parts, and sounded great. I’ve been in several choirs in the past and Renee stands out as one of the best singing leaders I’ve seen, it’s such a skill to bring everyone together in a gentle way and show the magic that can be created in a short time with singing – I would highly recommend her for running a workshop.
