Why JPJ?
JP Jubilee is a blast! We raise the rafters at our classes and concerts because we are having fun. Here is what some of the chorus members have said about being part of JP Jubilee:
“There is something very healthy – physically, mentally and emotionally – about singing with a group and JP Jubilee provides this opportunity. Having daytime rehearsals is a huge plus!”
“Rachel shares her knowledge, enthusiasm, and joy in every class. She believes in our capacity individually and collectively and helps us to strive for the best in all of us. Never want to miss it! What could be better?”
“I love that JP Jubilee offers the opportunity to come together to sing with other people where there are no barriers to joining. The level of engagement, the spirit of joy and fun and the willingness to experiment and learn, and to take (modest) risks are fantastic.”
