“Rose is inspirational; she pushes us beyond our usual limits and we become greater than the sum of our parts. As a choir we perform better than ever. She kept us going during COVID and even now members can join online if unwell. New members joining is a tribute to her leadership.”

“Rose is the perfect Choir Director. She’s a very skilled musician and helps singers at all levels work together to produce a great sound. She inspires us through her abilities and her optimism, openness and warmth towards each of us.”

“Rose’s enthusiasm and encouragement make singing hugely enjoyable. With skilful leadership and vocal tuition she coaxes from our amateur voices something very special indeed. Our ability to sing well together, in harmony and with joy, is testament to her inspiring teaching. We are extremely lucky to have her.”

“When I joined Manchester Community Choir I wanted a Musical Director who would demand a high standard but still make rehearsals fun. Rose is patient but rigorous, encouraging us to stretch our vocal abilities and create beautiful harmonies. We are very lucky to have her as our leader.”
