Angela Sleeman says:

The plan for M4S is for singers to gain confidence in their sight reading ability by understanding basic musical theory, using examples this term from various composers including Schubert, Vaughan Williams, Rachmaninov, Britten and Tavener. Reference will also be made to the current repertoire of AS.  The music will be provided and there will be some aural and sight reading exercises. We sing in 4 parts, SATB, and as this is a small group, singers are able to hear the other parts and to work together to produce a satisfying choral blend. We are not working towards any performances and the group is friendly and encouraging!

If a member does not take up a place or complete a term for any reason (other than the above) there is no entitlement to a refund. You can however opt to transfer your fee to the following term. If you wish to transfer to another choir or class you need to consult our Membership Coordinator and any difference in the fee or subscription must be paid or be refunded. If you require a receipt for your postal enrolment, you will need to enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope.
