About Me Karen has a Bachelor of Music from the University of Canterbury- Christchurch, New Zealand.

Many hours outside of her day job are spent at the piano each week, creating music, practising, and working with singers as a pianist for The Hutt Valley Singers- an all comers Community Choir (approx 50 member) and The Major Minors Children's Choir (aged 4-12) and The Harmonic Minors an (auditioned extension group currently aged 5-17). All Choirs are based in Upper Hutt, New Zealand.

I love accompanying and encouraging musicians from the piano and writing on arrangements of pop songs for the senior choir. Another passion is networking with Choirs around the world on Twitter.

One of the things we find with our choir is that during the middle or the year (our New Zealand winter) , we're often plagued with choir members getting sick, wintery bitter weather (so nobody wants to leave their warm homes), or members taking trips to the pacific for sun, rest and relaxation...
