Publicity has been mostly through Word of Mouth, there are waiting lists for each Course.

Currently in Long Ditton ,Surbiton,Wimbledon,  Kingston On Thames , and Esher also.Evening and Lunchtime Courses.

Three Courses a Year are offered, of  ten weeks, following the School Term Dates (with Breaks for Half - Terms).

New Year, Autumn and Summer Term. The Courses offer an Introduction to Voice and Singing Technique, with a warm up and improvement schedule at the Start of each Class.
The aim is to allow people to find or improve their own Singing Voice,and use it correctly,and to enjoy singing in a Stress Free friendly,supportive ,relaxed and stimulating environment,to enjoy the theraputic and Social aspects of singing.

THis is not a Choir or Choral set up,but many Choir members come to enjoy developing their own skills.

On completion of The Course, each Participant is given a CD with some of the favourite backing tracks to enjoy singing at home to friends and family.

In 2007 a lovely  lady called  Eileen Brunst put up on little card in Health Club Noticeboard asking if anyone could help her sing a little for fun! From that card, Singers and Songs has developed.

It seems that, like Eileen, many people have always wanted to sing and have never had the opportunity and the right circumstances to do it in. There are also those people who have sung in their lives, in Amateur Theatre, in Church, at School, in the bathroom or kitchen, or in one way or another professionally. People from all walks of life, doctors, teachers, care workers, mums, dads, students, from the age of 16 to 77 have joined the courses so far.

Many people join to take part in the therapy that singing provides. Singing has huge health benefits.

Singers and Songs is currently looking for Performers and Singers who are interested in Starting a Class/Group or may be interested in buying a Franchise in their area in 2011/2012.
