About Us
The JTPTrust is an educational charity whose aim is to promote, improve, develop and maintain standards of singing in the Swindon area. Our Founding Patron was the internationally recognised singing teacher Mollie Petrie (1920-2016) who honoured us with her support for our many projects and achievements during her lifetime.
The Trust is managed by a small team of trustees. All classes and events are organised by the Director, Janice V Thompson, and delivered by a team of inspirational teachers. Janice is also a Past Chair of the Association of Teachers of Singing (AOTOS).
Class Fees and Funding
We run 5 week terms and class fees depend on age, starting from £36 per term. We welcome additional siblings and Holy Cross students at just £32 per term and can offer 50% funding via our Swindon Music Service Bursaries.
