Courage Choir
Felicity Courage
Founder and Conductor.
Courage Choir was a pipe dream for two years before I finally got my act together in September 2012 thanks to the encouragement of many brilliant women. My experience includes being a singing and drama teacher at Erlestoke Prison, a Performing Arts and Music lecturer at City of Bath
College and at Chippenham College, Stagecoach Singing and Drama teacher, solo singer for John Rutter, performer on
national touring musical with Partytime Productions and member and composer for all girl trio ‘The Blues Floozies’.
I currently teach singing in local schools during the day. My qualifications including three separate teaching certificates,
a Dip ABRSM in Singing Performance, B.A Hons Degree in Performing Arts, Grade 8 Singing, Grade 8 Piano, Grade 8 Clarinet and Grade 5 Music Theory. I am trained in acting, dance and music but singing has always been my specialism.
I love every minute of conducting Courage Choir because we have been blessed with a wonderful group of talented, fun and enthusiastic ladies
