JOIN THE CHOIR
‘To sing is to pray twice, the words of our hymns are prayers and when we sing them we add to them a further dimension of honour and praise’
St Augustine
Do you want to sing in a small friendly and musically rewarding chamber choir?
Singing in a choir sits head and shoulders above other forms of singing. Coming together and raising our voices gives us a sense of belonging and connection, friendship and love; We have to listen to each other, blending minds, hearts and voices.
Many members of the newly formed Kenelm Singers have been singing together for many years in a variety choral settings, both sacred and secular and this is reflected in our choice of repertoire.
I would be delighted to open up a conversation with you, if you would like to join us. Some experience of choral singing in an SATB choir and an ability to read music especially in the alto, tenor and bass parts would be preferable. Many people come back to choral singing later in life, so please don’t worry if you haven’t sung since school or college days!

I have sung for Shelley in St Peter’s Choir Winchcombe for many years, I was honoured when she asked me to join The Kenelm Singers. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she has the rare talent of bringing out the best in the members of her choir. She is an excellent teacher, with boundless patience and the ability to instil confidence in her pupils. We are very lucky to have her!

Shelley is a true professional who is always enthusiastic in sharing her skills with others.
Having watched her in action at a concert I was inspired to return to choral singing after a gap of several years. She has been extremely supportive and encouraging.
Throughout the recent pandemic and beyond Shelley has continued to motivate and inspire us. The Kenelm Singers is great way to spend a Tuesday night! We get a singing masterclass as well as always being amazed at the beauty of the music we are exposed to.

Singing with Shelley has been great fun! We have been introduced to a variety of beautiful pieces of music which have helped us to improve our sight reading and learn new techniques as well as really enjoy singing as a group. Shelley is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we are very lucky to be able to make music with her.

Shelley — an extraordinary teacher and true educator who conjures unknown talent in every pupil.
It is so exciting to be part of a new fledgling chamber choir, The Kenelm Singers.
Shelley is immensely gifted, not only vocally— music runs in her veins and DNA — but in understanding the needs of her most diffident pupils and patiently nurturing their faltering efforts to embrace the joy that is singing.
