On Thursday, April 26, members of QM Music and Sound joined students at The Arbour community centre as part of their English Language and Mentoring programme for women newly arrived in the UK (http://www.thearbour.org.uk/portfolio/womens-services/). We discussed song and poetry in British culture and our own lives, learnt about vocal production and projection, and explored some springtime songs and poems from the thirteenth to the twentieth century. Many thanks to QM’s Jo Paul for organizing the workshop .
