ABOUT US “I knew from when I was very young that singing was for me. As a child I spent hours making up and learning a vast number of songs. I sang in three choirs as a teenager and eventually enrolled in ‘Musik Akademiet’ in Copenhagen, studying singing and piano. Some years later, I moved to England and became involved with the Music Organisation called ‘Tonalis’. I am now a graduate of two Tonalis' Vocational Music Trainings; The ‘Tonalis Voice Training’ and ‘Music Education for Children Training’. I have been a singing student of the Tonalis director; Michael Deason Barrow, for many many years, as well as being a long standing member of his choir ‘Tonalis Company of Singers’. For several years I have performed with this unique choir, with its amazing and broad repertoire, both as part of the whole choir, in small consorts and as a solo singer. I have taken various ‘Trinity College London’ Singing and Music Performance Diploma Exams. I am a qualified: Associate of ‘Trinity College London’ with a Diploma in Singing and Music Performance - ATCL. I have also taken the high LTCL Diploma exam in singing and music performance, with distinction in performance. In LTCL singing diplomas the level is twice as high as grade 8. I have also had singing lessons with the famous tenor Ian Partridge, as well as singing lessons with the wonderful singer, composer and Trinity diploma examiner, Gary Higginson.          Looking for a Wedding Singer?        Call/ Text Marianne Lihannah on  01453 299 225 / 07942 868 234 or Email:          [email protected] I am a classical trained vocalist with many years as a wedding singer, performing both in large cathedrals, - Chartres, Salisbury, Gloucester.
