Level: All
Fee: £45, includes lunch

Singing has been proven to promote good health and to increase a sense of wellbeing. We need to ensure that our voices are used correctly, so that we can continue to enjoy all the benefits that singing brings to our lives, which is an important consideration as we get older. Penny’s inspirational and informative course is for singers of all abilities with no upper age limit. Discover the joy of your voice!

Penny has spent a lifetime of being involved in the world of singing, initially in the world of concerts and opera. For many years Penny has taught a diverse range of singers, from Cambridge choral scholars to Glyndebourne soloists, to working in the world of film and T.V. For many years Penny was the co-director of the Voca Arts Institute in Indianapolis and also ran AIMS international summer school with her husband Neil. Penny is now much in demand as an adjudicator of festivals and song prizes.
