I recently joined the Valentine Singers for an evening to sample a
rehearsal and I can honestly say it's one of the friendliest choirs I've
ever visited. Within five minutes I'd been spoken to by more people
than in my first five months in the choir I currently sing with. Several
people checked that I had the right music and a good seat with the rest
of the sopranos. I'm an experienced singer but I felt that there would
have been lots of support available if I'd been less confident about
finding my way round the score. The warm-ups before serious work on the
Messiah got started were excellent and I was really impressed by the way
Christine understood the different abilities of her singers and made
sure everyone in the choir was catered for, from making sure they could
all see her to helpful note-bashing of tricky corners. There was a
lovely atmosphere and I'm just sorry I don't live close enough to be a
regular member of the Valentine Singers.
