A Festival of Choirs
Taplow Youth Choir and Girls' Choirs bring a varied evening of Choral Music to Norden Farm.
With guest choir Newlands School Madrigal Choir. Conductor: Barbara Clarkson
Most of the members live in the Maidenhead area but some come from much further afield to enjoy these exciting groups.
The Youth Choir, numbering about 60 voices is fortunate to draw members from its Girls' and Boys' Choirs where basic choral training is done, friends are made and a wonderfully motivated spirit is harnessed.
The choirs enjoy performances in many different venues and they both sing an annual Choral Evensong in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle too. Both choirs enjoyed a tour base in York in 2021 and next summer, the Youth Choir will give concerts in Helsnki, Tallinn and Tartu, the European City of Culture 2024.

Acoustic Guitar - Absolute Beginners
Led by Jim Maving
Always wanted to learn guitar but never got around to it? Want to trade your air guitar skills for real guitar skills? It is never too late to learn. Learn guitar right from the very beginning. This is a foundation course for those with little to no experience of playing guitar. You will learn how to hold a guitar and to make the right noises out of it. The aim of these lessons is to get you playing your first song within 4 weeks of lessons, as no-one takes up guitar to strum random chords, it’s all about the songs.
If you are returning to guitar having not played for some time and can barely remember chords this is a great way of getting back into the swing of things.
