As a leader of community choirs, Sarah’s work is largely informed by her training in Vocal Health.
Sarah leads a choir of unpaid carers called ‘Carers Voices’. She has recently researched this specific community to explore how she can best cater for their needs as singers.
Sarah will be discussing her experience working with the choir during the webinar, accompanied with other practitioners of carers choirs.
Congratulations, Sarah!
