Eva and I so enjoy our Saturday mornings immersed in the EJMS community. Although Eva has her instrumental lessons at school, she so enjoys the opportunities on offer to play and sing ensemble at EJMS and these in turn have hugely benefited her in terms of her overall musicianship and confidence. The leaders of all the ensembles she has been involved in have been dedicated, energetic and supportive, and most importantly make it fun! In addition, I have also had the unexpected pleasure of being able to involve myself in the Adult Chorale, which is just the right mix of challenging and fun and is real food for the soul.
