Students of Simple Theatre are particularly enjoying their singing lessons this term safe in the knowledge that their teacher, Katharine can claim one or two famous names amongst her students (or past students).
Top of the list at present is darling of the X-Factor, Phoebe Brown - the golden voice of the girl-group Hope. Phoebe has been training with Katharine for almost four years, and they worked hard together preparing for the auditions, and then for 'boot camp'.
Although Hope have left the competition as stars, Phoebe will continue to catch up with her singing lessons with Katharine to keep her voice strong and healthy - especially with the X-Factor tour coming up.
