You CAN sing!
Let me prove it.

I’m Teresa and I believe you can find joy in your voice.

I would love to encourage you to sing in a Community Singing Group, and to develop more self confidence through finding a relationship with your own voice that is positive and rewarding.

My passion is encouraging people to use their voice!

finding your voice

But I can’t sing!​

How often have I heard that cry. So many people have been told at an early age that they can’t sing, and because this is usually linked with some sort of ridicule, the belief stays, and the fear of trying again dominates any attempt to prove this otherwise. The truth is that if you can talk you can sing, it’s as simple as that because you use the same mechanism. It takes me less than 5 minutes to show you this and prove that any note you sing is as good as any note I sing.

It takes another 5 minutes to show you that you can learn to sing the same note as me, and from then on you can start learning some songs and singing with others in one or other of my groups. With just a little practice you too can create music.

Here are some lovely comments from our singers

Coming to the choir helped me to understand, embrace and enjoy the voice I already have – not wish for a singing voice that is not actually mine. Teresa has managed to make me sing much more confidently.

I have sung with Teresa since she came to Norfolk, 20 years ago. She is a very patient teacher, even with members who sometimes struggle. Teresa’s motto is “Everybody can Sing”

As a teacher I do know just a little of the effort, time, energy and stress that goes into putting on something like tonight’s concert so I do totally appreciate all you have done/do. Since January 2012, my Monday night ‘sing’ has become one of…

Thank you, Teresa, so much for making it happen! It was fantastic to be part of something so positive with such a lot of lovely people x

Just wanted to say a big thank you to you for yesterday and the past few months I have been with you. You have helped me to ‘tick another box’ on this wonderful journey through life – yesterday was such a lovely experience and I…

I can say from the audience it was very good. I particularly found the second half very strong. Odd not to be singing but hope to get back in the swing of it now I will have so much more time. Well done everyone!

I found some of it a bit technically challenging and the last time I learned by rote was at junior school! but I think I’ll get there. Once again a big thank-you, see you next week.

I loved the singing and you are particularly good at getting us to perform. I have tried a few community choirs since coming to live in Norwich but never felt it was for me. Saturday’s experience was completely different. You commanded the group in a…

What a splendid concert! The audience was much larger than I had anticipated – and they seemed to enjoy the occasion. Thank you for your patience and hard work… Cynthia has asked me to say that even though it wasn’t her favourite song from the…
