Deb is already one of the Tutors on our successful Early Music Summer School. She is taking over tuition of our Choir singing from Winter 2019, picking up the baton of the wonderful Roger Wilkes, who is retiring.

Deborah has the same fantastic approach to Roger, believing in inclusive and uniting nature of music. She brings a wealth of professional experience to Higham.

Deborah has prepared short 1 minute videos to introduce some of her courses. Worth viewing if you are wondering whether the course might be for you (ED: Chances are it will be for you!), or you are simply curious as to what this Tutor may be like.
