 "The quality of training was truly incredible. I know Charles is a hugely talented performer, musician and choral leader however his ability to transfer this to a Level 1 course making it accessible for beginner level choral leaders, while maintaining such high quality musicianship/response/instruction, was inspirational."

"Charles was engaging and the interactive nature of session really helped me to hear the tonal changes. I can relate this to the work I do with my school choirs."

"Content was totally aligned with my needs as music teacher. Really fantastic content and ideas and methodologies that will totally be put into practice at school."
