This workshop follows Ken Burton’s fabulous and well attended Gospel workshop last summer. We anticipate that many schools will want to bring classes and choirs so please book early to avoid disappointment. The day session is aimed at Year 5 and 6 and secondary aged students. School staff will be responsible for their students during the day. The CPD session is open to all who are interested in leading singing and gaining singing skills: students, parents, helpers, adult singers as well as staff.
