On Monday we are blessed with former New South Wales choir director, Jen Squires, who has taught a lot of gospel.
Jen has been singing in barbershop four-part, unaccompanied harmony choirs for 16 years
Jen says:

I have been a Sweet Adeline for over 16 years starting with Bathurst chorus (where I was choreographer).
I moved and founded Headliners chorus on the north east coast of NSW and was their director for 10 years.
I moved to Perth last year and joined the Perth Harmony Chorus.
I'm on the Regional Education Faculty for Aus.
I sing with iCappella quartet (who is off to Seattle in October to represent Australia - whoohoo!)

While on the North Coast I sang for a couple of years with an SATB choir who did quite a lot of gospel (later coaching them) so I'm looking forward to meeting your singers and hearing your repertoire.
