Local Voice teacher and choir leader Kate O’Connell, co-director of The Forres Big Choir and artistic director of Acappella singers Too Many Kooks, has some exciting groups on offer for would be singers in the next few months. She firmly believes that we can all sing, with or without formal training, and that there are many social and health benefits to be gained from singing. She has 2 groups aimed at women on weekday mornings-‘ Healing Harmonies’ and ‘Women who love to sing’, both focussing on the benefits to our health and wellbeing from singing together. She is also launching a Voice Series on Tuesday evenings, aimed at anyone who wants to try something new- subjects include Find Your Voice, Balkan harmonies and Vocal Improvisation. Give Kate a ring, or e- mail her, and see if there is a group to suit you. All details are on her website www.katesvoices.co.uk  or phone 01343 850266. kateoc@naturalvoice.net
