QiE Workshop Calendar
2011
March 16th
A small group of Quire members led by director Professor Bill Tamblyn spent a day at Tollesbury Primary School. Quire were there on the invitation from the Headteacher to Quire member Christina Moon to bring ‘her choir’ to the school. Christina herself has a wonderful voice and it was so uplifting for the Quire to hear such excellent class singing from her class and indeed from the school as a whole.
March 24th and 25th
Quire answered a request from Heathlands C of E Primary School to present workshop days with three classes. Here there are two members of Quire; Carol, a teacher and Sarah, a parent-helper. Quire visited the school last year and again we were astonished at the quality and enthusiasm of the singing by the children. Nothing was beyond them – 4-part rounds, songs in obscure African tribal languages, even a jolly Mexican chorus (in Spanish of course! ).
April 28th – Fingringhoe C of E Primary School
May 25th - Parsons Heath C of E Primary School (return visit)
