Hello! My name is Ann Barrett and I live and work as a community musician in the Dengie Hundred, which is between Maldon and Burnham on Crouch in Essex.

I teach singing and piano at my home in Bradwell on Sea and have helped pupils of all ages, from school children to adults, to improve their musical skills. Many people have rediscovered their singing voices with my help.

I run a regular singing group, the Maldon Singers, which has maintained its popularity over six years and I also continue to visit Maldon’s U3A Sing for Pleasure group each month.

My full day workshops provide the opportunity to sing a diverse range of music in comfortable venues with friendly company and delicious refreshments.

I am hugely supportive of the work of the Dengie Hopes and Dreams Stage Company which produces a ‘show in a week’ every August. Go to www.hopesanddreams.me.uk for more information.
