Musings from Liberty Singer Towers…
The Tale of The Fairy Choir Leader and The Split Choir…..
I am sometimes inspired by the great writers of our time….. Jane Eyre, Kate Morton, Lisa Jewel, Jackie Shears…… and am compelled to write my very own tale based on real life events. Once upon a time, in a far off magical land, there lived a Fairy Choir Leader. She...
Singing Analogies – Chapter 1 – Fabric
About 100 years ago, I was a primary school teacher, keen to get the best out of the children I taught singing to with accessible language and analogies. I had, originally set up the Liberty Singer business not as just the freedom to sing, but also creating sewing...
