(For Singing Teaching) and Certificate of
Advanced Studies from the Guildhall for
Performance
Linda Filby-Borrett was trained at the
Guildhall School of Music and Drama in
London, and sang professionally for several
years, prior to moving to the Isle of Wight
with her husband and young family in the
early 1990’s.
She soon established an extremely successful school of singing, which led to her being asked to teach the Monks of Quarr Abbey, and subsequently, bringing together her singers to join with the Monks of Quarr, thus forming ‘The Voices of the Isle of Wight’. Since this time, they have recorded several CDs and a DVD raising money for the Abbey and also for local charities including The Open Arms who feed the most needy in Ryde. In 2017 Linda was honoured to receive the Lifetime Achievement award at Classic FM’s Music Teacher of the Year Awards.
