Testimonials
RAD is the most amazing group. My daughter has flourished in so many ways since she started with them. Her vocal skills are astounding and the encouragement and training she receives is fantastic and her confidence as a performer has grown in leaps and bounds.
Kevin, Rylee, Tara, Eleanor, and Kezia put so much love, time, energy and expertise into this group. It has a real family
feel and we have got to know some of the other families and made some heartwarming friendships. The friendship between the members is lovely to see too. They all support and encourage each other and it makes us as a family so happy to be part of this wonderful and very valuable group.
RAD have played at so many beautiful venues across Sussex and any event they perform at is also a fun day out. I couldn't recommend it enough. Thank you to Kevin and his team for this much-needed group xxxx

Wow, what more can I say.. RAD sang at our wedding in church and all our family and friends commented how absolutely amazing they were, what talent.
Even the vicar was blown away by the singing. He wants them to sing every Sunday!
We then had the full group singing in the evening , everyone was up dancing and singing along. Such an amazing day.
Highly recommend, cant thank them all enough.

Joining RAD singing group has been a joy for my daughter! The supportive atmosphere and talented instructors have ignited her passion for singing.
It's not just a group; it's a musical family where she thrives and enjoys every moment.
Grateful for the positive impact it is having on her journey.

This club means everything to my daughter and the friendships she has built will be lifelong.
Seeing her in her element performing at various shows throughout the year brings immense pride and it is where she is at her happiest.
The singing coaches are so amazing. It’s not just a club, it’s a family, and we are so proud tobe a part of it .

Both my children absolutely love RAD and it has become the highlight of their week each Friday night. My eldest was such a shy little girl and would be self conscious if we ever watched her sing or dance.
Since joining RAD that has all changed. She is willing to get up and perform in a group and has even done some solos at the showcases.
I love seeing her confidence and voice progress more and more. The teachers are all fantastic and so supportive, I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and expertise.
I can highly recommend Rhapsody. I think music plays such an important part in everyone’s lives and we are so lucky to have this fantastic group right on our doorstep.

My daughter started Rhapsody at the beginning of the year , after the first free trial she absolutely loved it!
We were greeted very warmly and all the kids were friendly and straight away she felt comfortable.
She loves singing; dancing and says she has great fun at the group. She looks forward to going on a Friday night .
Becky M
Venus has been at RAD since its inception and it’s her favourite out of school activity. Friday can never come fast enough for Venus … because Friday means … it is RAD day!
She has a good group of friends there and they are just like one big family. They have older ones who look out for and mentor the younger ones and the younger ones who look up to the older ones for inspiration and guidance.
RAD has given Venus the opportunity to perform at local events in and around Sussex and helped her to build on her confidence and socialisation skills. The group is in complete alignment with our family values which is why we and Venus love it so much. The coaches are relatable to the children and really know how to tap into and expand the children’s potential.
We have in the past, and will continue, to recommend any of Venus’ friends to join RAD as the exposure they all receive is amazing.

Thank you so much for your kind invitation to Rhapsody's showcase event last Saturday evening. To say that I was absolutely mesmerised and completely in awe of the talent being displayed would be an understatement to say the very least!
The age range of 5-18 years is vast, and yet everyone on stage was given the opportunity to shine in their own individual way, which will serve to be of good grounding and increase confidence as they move forward and develop their particular skills.
I was also extremely impressed with your management/trustee team! It was so obvious from the start that the young artistes have great trust, reliance and respect for you all, and from that, they will want to learn through your guidance and tuition, which in itself will greatly enhance their personal development and artistic abilities.
There was clearly a need in Seaford and the surrounding areas for a group such as Rhapsody, and you have certainly filled a long awaited niche in the community with the valuable service that you now provide.
Very well done to you all!
