Christine Sumner

Christine Sumner - Musical Director:

Graduated from Liverpool University, having studied Music and Education. This led to teaching in Primary Schools as 'Music Specialist' before qualifying as a teacher/advisor from Leicester University. That took her into schools in and around Hinckley, advising and assisting in the teaching of music. Christine then decided to pursue her first love of singing, firstly studying at Birmingham Conservatoire, then privately with Nick Powell (RNCM) and finally with Pamela Cook, renowned Musical Director of Cantamus Girls' Choir. It was with Pam that Christine achieved her Fellowship in Singing Performance. Since then Christine has performed locally and nationally and has established 'The Christine Sumner Academy of Music' and the 'Cantabile Youth Choir', which are both going from strength to strength.
