"I had the opportunity of many wonderful experiences by being in Jess' choirs and have made lifelong friendships. Jess' personality, skills and musicality has made being part of her a choir a very happy joyful and meaningful part of my life"
"I attended the singing retreat in Tuscany with excitement and a few nerves as I was travelling alone. I need not have worried!
The whole experience was simply fabulous!
As a group of like minded people, we were welcomed and so well looked after by the lovely Jess and her team. The whole trip was five ⭐️, the programme of singing, sightseeing and a host of new experiences all connected by shared meals, wine and much laughter with such lovely new friends and all in stunning Tuscany!
From start to finish, it was simply wonderful!"

"I would recommend joining Jess' choirs for anyone who loves to sing!"
"I enrolled my daughter into Jess' school choir and slowly she started to build her confidence back up, she made friends, stopped being anxious and sad all the time. She was still quiet after school on the other days but on choir day I would know she would come out happy...even hugging Jess, this was a huge moment for a nervous girl!
My daughter continues to sing with Jess and has even enrolled in performing arts classes with the local Music Trust, who Jess also works with.
I simply cannot express how much singing has changed her life, my son also now sings with Jess and the confidence they have is incredible.
Jess and her choir are the miracle we all needed"
Emily Moore
"Singing a in a choir with Jess as a leader is always a highlight of my week. Jess' passion, spirit, love of music and drive for a beautiful sound are infectious and have given me belief and confidence in myself as a singer"
Rachael Martin
"Until discovering Jess and the undeniable benefits of singing together with other people, my singing was restricted to the housework and showers! Now I sing with my choir family and practice at home on a regular basis.
I have sung with Jess' choirs for 12+ years and have attended her workshops as well as her singing opportunities at venues with other choirs around the world. All these experiences have been amazing!
I always finish choir feeling exhilarated and a warm togetherness knowing that all of the other people feel the same. Jess has the ability to make everyone feel included; and with humour, strives to get the best from everyone.
Jess is also very approachable and not afraid to show her humanity which makes the singing experience wholesome and nurturing!"
Jacquie Dowsett
"Singing with Jess is fun and uplifting and her energy and passion for music is infectious. The Tuscany retreat was magical!"
Val Payne
"I've had the privilege of knowing Jess for 10 years now since I first started my singing adventures!
She has given me the confidence and ability to do iconic performances such as supporting Russell Watson, learning Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man and singing at the Royal Albert Hall.As well as going on her retreat weekends which have been wonderful experiences.
Jess is a superb tutor, always fun but is so musically talented that she brings out the best in everyone who has the pleasure of singing with her. I have supported her choirs for 10 years now and continue to do so. I can honestly say I could never have achieved my singing ability without her superb tuition.
She's always full of enthusiasm and ambition and is, in my opinion, a star!"
Denise Thomas
"The two retreats spent with Jess are always in my heart and mind. Thank you for the wonderful experience!"

"Joining Jess on her Tuscan Singing holiday was probably one of my best holidays ever - beautiful Tuscan villa and countryside, tours of Siena and Florence, pasta making and horse riding through the vineyards. Mindfulness at sunrise, shared with a fabulous group of ladies and learning to sing the most beautiful piece of Italian music - Nella Fantasia.
It was perfect in every way and Jess is a great teacher and all round lovely person. I've also enjoyed several singing workshops with her which were such fun!
Can't wait to see what you do next Jess!"
Carolyn Londer-Ward
"We had the t-shirts,we had the hats and made a lifetime of memories. 5 whole days fun, laughter & singing in Paris, by the Arc de Triumph, the beautiful gardens of Le Jardin du Luxembourgh & Disneyland Paris.
The organisation was impeccable. Don't hesitate - go on one of Jess's trips. You won't ever forget it!"
"What can I say about the week in Tuscany with Jess and her colleagues? A fabulous location with wonderful food and (probably too much) wine but hey!
Many of us were solo travellers but soon came together in the daily singing sessions and produced some wonderful harmonies. I particularly loved the early morning sunrise meditation sessions.
THe friendships made at this event in 2019, people from across the UK sustained me during lockdown as we supported each other shared happy memories of singing together in the Italian sunshine.
If you get the chance, join in, just DO IT!"
Melanie Jones
"Lockdown for me was made easier thanks to Jess' kindness, compassion and investing her time and believing in people like me that have never participated in any singing group. I joined Jess on some of her singing zoom sessions.
It was so inspiring and elevated my motivation when I was struggling to find a positive way to pass time and worry less about myself & family and friends.
I still listen to the lockdown recording which featured people from all over the globe.
Eternal gratitude. In my eyes you are a star ⭐️ "
