EPM: It can be a very lonely world as a music teacher, and when I first worked as one I wanted to gain some support and work with fellow singing teachers to share ideas, so I joined AOTOS. I really enjoyed the community feel and the various events they put on. I found it so useful that I got more and more involved, and I was asked eventually to apply for the Southeast area rep role. I did this for three years and was then put forward as chair in 2022, and will stay in post until 2024.
EPM: I really do. The council is wonderful, and, apart from two paid freelancers, we are all volunteers who are highly dedicated. It sounds cheesy, but I am really lucky to have such a great team around me. We are an organisation by members, for members.
