I graduated from Trinity College
of Music in 2003 after studying singing and performance for four years with
Omar Ebrahim, Linda Hirst and Michael Goldthorpe.
As a full-time member of Trinity
College Chamber Choir, directed by Stephen Jackson, I toured France
twice and was privileged to sing at La Madeleine in Paris
as well as perform at The Royal Albert Hall and St Martin’s
In The Fields on a regular basis back in London.
For several years I was a junior
school classroom teacher in London
and then moved home to Chichester where I decided to
fully commit myself to singing and music! I started teaching singing privately
and running choirs in 2007 full-time: all part of Rebecca Cooke Singing; as
well as performing as a soloist at various venues across the South of England
including Goodwood House, Boxgrove Priory, Fairfield Hall and many local
churches.
Last
year I was appointed as the committee member for the Chichester Singing
Festival: A section of Chichester Festival Of Music, Speech and Dance. This
exciting event takes part every February (juniors) and March (adults) and ALL
singers are welcome to participate in classes and receive excellent feedback
from top-class adjudicators. Entries must be in by November so please contact I
or look at www.chichester-festival.org.uk for more information. Each class is
open to a PUBLIC AUDIENCE so do come along and listen to other singers and
enjoy learning new things too!
All you need is a passion for singing and a sense of humour to get started.
