“Clara is a brilliant choir leader and manages to get everyone making a great sound even though few of us consider ourselves to be good singers! We are relaxed and informal and there is a lot of fun and laughter.” Jane, Bratton
I run three community choirs called Clarity, in Bath, Trowbridge and Bratton (near Westbury). I lead all my choirs and singing workshops using the principles of the Natural Voice Network. I was trained using this method by experienced choir leader Candy Verney. They are open-access, a cappella choirs that are as much about the social and community aspect as they are the singing.

Natural Voice principles
In the choirs and singing workshops that I lead, I always:
  • aim to accommodate mixed levels of experience.
  • aim to avoid using technical language and musical jargon.
  • teach songs in a traditional way – mostly by ear.
  • use physical and vocal warm-ups to facilitate vocal health, confidence and fun.
  • promote that the voice and singing with others as a fundamental community building activity.​
