Songster
Leader
at
Chelmsford
since
September 2007, Joanne has always enjoyed singing. She has
been a member of Chelmsford Corps her whole life, and has
always played a full and active part in the corps, through
being a member of the Singing Company and YP Band, and later
the Corps Cadets, and the senior sections. On leaving
school, she studied at the Colchester Institute to attain a
BA(Hons) in music, and then trained to be a primary school
teacher. Jo now teaches in a primary school in
Basildon,
Essex
. She
was the Singing Company Leader at
Chelmsford
from
2003-2007, until agreeing to a "career move" to
Songster Leader. She was also a member of the
International Staff Songsters from January 2000 until
December 2008. Jo is married to Richard, who is also a primary school
teacher, and they have two very cute and smiley sons
(Benjamin & Oliver). With parents like these,
they're bound to
have a great set of lungs, and a wonderful smile.

it is available at call.

musicians who accompany the brigade, vary with the music, but will
generally include, piano, percussion, string bass or electric bass and sometimes
keyboards, and trumpet. |
