A podcast highlighting news, views and inspiration from the North Western Synod of the United Reformed Church
Friends, welcome to this edition of the Synod Podcast, featuring Maggie McDonald — singer, vocal coach and church musician. Maggie shares her journey from the Royal Northern College of Music and Glyndebourne to teaching and coaching with major choirs, singing for royal audiences, and leading worship. She explains how the voice is a living instrument, how teaching singing involves body, breath and hearing, and how her synaesthesia lets her see music in colour. Maggie also reflects on the spiritual power of congregational singing and a memorable moment of being ‘bathed in golden light’ while performing.
