No matter how I feel when I come to choir rehearsal, singing always brings me so much joy. I love how kind and welcoming the other girls are, the beautiful music we get to sing and how important we are to Mrs.Q.

- Viva Chorister, Age 10

I like to sing because I feel I can express myself through singing. I feel like it gives me freedom. It makes me forget about my worries.

“There are no words I can use to describe how much you mean to me, from year one I have loved the way you dance and sing around the room, how much you care and love music…you inspire me to follow music….I want you to know you enhance my life and I know everyone says they love you, but I am saying this from the crevasses of my soul.”
