TESTIMONIALS

I’d just like to “sing out my praise and joy” at how fab being a part of this amazing, successful, healing, fun choir had been for me over the past 14 months. Liz, our choir leader in Dorridge, is fab.

Barry, Dorridge

Rehearsals are good fun with Liz, such a good teacher and a group of like-minded people all who enjoy singing and a good time together. Great opportunities for concerts around the country. I would recommend TPSC to anyone – good value for money and supporting charities too.

Kath, Dorridge

Our Monday evenings are joyous, led by brilliant musicians who make us amateurs sound good. The camaraderie is fantastic and I have made many new fabulous friends! On top of this, it is a charity supporting others at the same time as bringing us joy! This is a choir like no other. Something very special.
