Fiona Mason has teamed up with co-directors Iain Court and Andy Lynham to create a new music education company Music Works. The company's philosophy is all about empowering you to get the most out of your music to create your own sound and we believe that you learn best when you're enjoying yourself. Music Works provides focussed but fun group and individual music training and coaching in contemporary vocals, contemporary instrumental technique, group performance, performance technique, studio preparation, studio engineering, yoga and relaxation for performance and the music business. The company's experienced tutors deliver high quality, empowering, person centred learning experiences across Essex and nationally in a range of venues and settings including theatres, arts centres, schools, colleges, community centres and to the corporate sector where music is a great tool for team building.

Scripted by Anna Reynolds and choreographed and Directed by Kate Flatt, The work paints an intimate portrait of a man on the ultimate journey, guided by an enigmatic spirit in the guise of a dancer. In 2009/10 Fiona produced Songs from a Hotel Bedroom for SEGUE directed and choreographed by Kate Flatt. www.kateflatt.com
