I live in Southend on sea, where the sun is always shining and the grass is always green (and apparently available from my next door neighbour, if nocturnal activities are to be believed!) I am a musician and music teacher and I love my job...I am involved in a few bands/projects and either sing, play piano, violin or multi task in: Stud 100-northern soul. The Carpenter's Story - voice of Karen Carpenter; The Claire Furley Band - original, folk, jazz, soul; The Phil Burdett Group - original, folk, acoustic, blues, country rock; The Swinging Belles - 3 part harmony group, based on The Andrews and Boswell Sisters, we've been swinging our thing since 2002 and lovin' every minute of it!.........................................
I also run several singing classes and vocal groups/choirs. I love arranging songs for 3/4 part harmony and there is something amazing about hearing people sing as a group..........................I am currently the Director Of Music at Alleyn Court School......................I write my own songs but am not prolific enough to persue an original album at present...but I am looking for material, so if you're looking for a voice for your songs, please contact me via myspace or clairefurley.com...............................ooo....by the way, I want to know how to set up your own music on myspace but til I get my head around yet another bit of techno stuff, you can hear some of my music, there are a couple of original songs and some covers, on my web site....clairefurley.com...................I currently have limited spaces for new students, in the Southend area. I have 18 years teaching, session and performance experience. Vocals (all styles covered), violin, piano, theory, aural and G.C.S.E tuition (history, theory, notation, composition etc). Feel free to contact my via myspace or my web site. Or...facebook!!
