“The Wesfarmers Arts Singing Classes have brought great joy and pleasure to me, and I eagerly anticipate the biannual event. In this program, we are challenged, encouraged and inspired as we learn to use our bodies as our instrument and reach our full potential as singers. The sessions cover technique and repertoire and are both instructional and FUN!”
