A Cappella Belles
A Cappella Belles started back in 2001 on a winter evening as a few women got together with the idea of starting a choir. Since then, the group has expanded to about 20 as Vicky has taught the group the basics of singing well: posture, vocal production, resonance, dynamics, pronunciation, enunciation and performance. Over this time breath control has developed, singing improved and listening skills honed. A Cappella Belles is always keen to welcome new members.
