WHO?
Kidz Chorus will be led by Telferscot parent and musician, Ruth Routledge. Ruth has vast experience of choir and group-leading in educational settings, having worked for the Southbank’s Voicelab Project (which Telferscot participated in!); running creative educational projects with Choir Community at Chelsea Academy and City Heights Academy; teaching musicianship, piano and singing for Wandsworth Music and Richmond Music Trust. She has a recent DBS and is a member of the Musician’s Union, Association of British Choral Directors and the Natural Voice Network.
Ruth believes in the power of music to support young people’s personal growth as well as their mental health and wellbeing. She works by building on children’s existing skills, talents and capabilities they can achieve both their musical and human potential, so that they develop their voices, musicality, confidence, team-work and empathy.
