On Wednesday 21st June, our fabulous choir, EGS Voices, joined local choir “Adorned” at Ponders End Methodist Church for a performance for local residents.
Our fabulous singing teacher Paula Thompson led the choir and they all sang brilliantly!
We had lots of comments from the audience about how fantastic they were and looked forward to the next performance.
We’re delighted to be welcoming Tom Barford to our team of instrumental teachers. Tom will be teaching woodwind instruments such as clarinet ,flute and saxophone.
Tom was raised in a musical family and started his musical journey by playing the saxophone from the age of 9. His passion was jazz and subsequently, at the age of 16, joined the Junior Jazz course at the Royal Academy of music that led to an undergraduate jazz programme and earnt him a fist class honours degree.
Tom now has 10 years of teaching experience, and is the winner of the 2017 Kenny Wheeler Prize. He continues to perform around the country and his albums can be heard on Spotify and Apple Music.
