| Other
musical activities of mine include an annual advanced music course, consisting
of voice training, choir conducting, music and choir literature, choir
master/presenter training, Gregorian Chant and organ playing. My passive music pleasures are; listening to church music, Gregorian Chant, listening to other forms of music in general and going to the theatre, a musical or an opera. |
| I joined Portus in September, 2001, after my boyfriend, who has been performing in the band since 1999, asked me to join. In Portus, as well as singing, I play rhythm guitar, keyboard and percussion instruments. Since moving to Holland, making it to the rehearsals has become much easier! |
