Jeremy Jackman
choral director, composer & arranger

you did a superb job for us, and thank you once again. There was a real feeling of completeness about the day and a strong sense of performance at the end. The students certainly developed confidence in sight singing..All of us who are teachers greatly admired the way you paced the day and maintained the pupils' concentration so well Bill Lovell, Cambridge Instrumental Music Agency

Jeremy has been directing choral courses at Canford Summer School for the last 15 years and has also frequently directed the Lacock Winter School. In fact his appearances at such events are usually spread right across the year, and have taken him throughout Europe and beyond, to the USA and Taiwan. His attitude to these events is simple: "It doesn't matter what level people start from", he says. "I am full of admiration for anyone who sings. A workshop is the ideal opportunity to examine how we sing. The greater confidence this produces means we can have fun at the time, and our music-making thereafter is a more enjoyable experience." He has worked with small groups, individual choirs and larger events and looks forward to more of the same.

Children as well as adults benefit from his infectious enthusiasm and lively approach to music-making and he is acutely aware that tomorrow's singers must be nurtured in today's schools.
