Our Musical Director
Robin was demonstrating a love for singing and music from a very early age and a serious musical life began for him at age eleven, when he learnt the trombone and joined a local brass band, followed by the piano and folk guitar playing. Robin has spent most of his life in music, and studied music drama and theology at university, gaining
a BAHons and MA, followed by qualifying as a teacher with a Cert Ed. Robin has wide experience of the performing arts through musical theatre, performing as a singer within several bands and appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and later working at schools in Yorkshire and Derbyshire including – one of his favourite jobs - Head of Music at Ecclesbourne School, where he taught for six years
A Message from Robin:
​​​
To anyone who would like to join a choir but feels reluctant to try;
​
Singing in a choir is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable of activities, having proven physical and mental benefits and it has no age barriers.
​
I have taught many pupils, both in schools and adults in male voice and mixed choirs who initially felt reluctant to explore their singing potential. Many people think they can’t sing, however, most can but finding their natural pitch and range is usually the problem, but this can be discovered by an experienced voice coach. I have found very few hopeless cases.
​
Not everyone has a quality of voice, or the confidence, to sing solo but even average voices, when harmonised with other singers of differing vocal ranges combine in a well led choir, the results can be stunning and bring spine tingling enjoyment to audiences.

Best wishes
Robin
