Testimonials

“A huge thanks to you and your team for organizing and running the team building training which ended with the ‘rosettes’ performance at our partners’ Conference. Lawyers out of their comfort zone showing a completely different side to themselves…It was exhilarating for the performers and the audience.”

“I went to the Sister of Soul rehearsal last Monday. Our MD Laura was extremely engaging, supportive and clearly has a talent for instilling confidence into her audience. I arrived as a non singer, but within minutes of the session beginning had the confidence and self belief to be able to sing. It was great! I found the session fun, uplifting and a left with a boost of confidence.”

“Last week I walked to work singing for the first time in a very long time! Band practice was great – we definitely released the inner rock gods/goddesses!”

“Wow the power of singing! That is an inspirational message. We loved our performance last week and even though we didn’t proceed it felt like a success to us. Thank you for all your unending enthusiam and positive encouragement. I hope from here we go from strength to strength! Best wishes to all at Singingworks”

I have just joined the choir and have not contributed much- but just wanted to say it is so amazing and the standard of singing and the team spirit and how we all looked and felt yesterday. Thank you very much. It is so worth coming not just from the Reading office- even if I lived in Moscow I would still attend Monday rehearsals…”

“It has been really hard to meet anyone outside my department. The choir has been a really fun, informal way to get to know people. From the first excellent session we did with Kate (WOW what a voice!), to the beautiful pieces we sung with Darron and the upbeat numbers with David, we’ve had so much fun. The hour passes too quickly and I always leave feeling energized and happier”
Jessica Rivett, Laywer Olswang

“I usually go to choir wondering if I can spare the time but I always come out feeling refreshed and positive. Having the opportunity to focus on something completely different, even just for an hour, makes a big difference to my outlook. Darron is passionate about helping us access music and make the best sound we can. He’s really got us to gel, I can’t wait for our first performance.
Diane Chadwick, Lawyer

“It was amazing and you and all the team should be really proud of what you put together. My family sang, laughed, cried and said it was the best night out in ages”

As someone who only ever normally sings in the shower and has to be quite tipsy to grab the karaoke mic – I was curious to see how Singingworks could help someone with my ‘ability’ and was amazed at not only how much fun I had but how good my voice sounded as part of a choir. It was totally inspiring it’s teamwork at it’s emotional and spiritual best!

“When the (x) choir formed in January 2011, I was unfortunately due to having an extremely demanding and stressful job, suffering from severe burn out and was, it has to be said, really quite ill with severe depression. Meeting the Singingworks Team and seeing Darron once a week to sing and laugh together, has not only given me a new skill which can only get better with time, but has improved my physical and mental health beyond recognition. Were it not for relieving life’s every day stresses with singing I doubt that I would still be working at (x). You are all very special people and it has been a delight getting to know the Singingworks Team and as well as admiring you all greatly, I am honoured to be able to call you my friends. Long may our association last and I can’t wait to find out what we’ll be doing together throughout the rest of this year and beyond

Love and admiration to you all”
