💜 MEMBER MONDAY | MEET RUTH 💜

Teacher. Pianist. Composer. Runner. Proud mum. And one of our wonderful BariBabes! 🎶

Meet Ruth Tranter, who has been part of Vocalescence for five years and wears quite a few hats as our Assistant Director, Baritone Specialist and Costume Chair!

By day, Ruth is a primary school teacher and director of two school choirs, helping young minds and voices discover their potential. She brings that same passion to Vocalescence, whether she’s conducting, coaching our Baritones or bringing our performance costumes to life. ✨

Music has always been a huge part of Ruth’s life. She plays five instruments, writes her own piano compositions and is now exploring arranging her original songs in barbershop harmony!

But despite everything she gives to others, Vocalescence has given Ruth something equally special.

💜 “I feel like I now have something just for me.”

Alongside her daughter Vicky, her beloved BariBabes and a chorus full of song sisters, Ruth has found a place where she can create, grow and feel part of a family spanning generations.

And when she’s not making music? She’s working towards running a half marathon. Because Ruth doesn’t believe in doing things by halves. 😜

Thank you, Ruth, for the creativity, encouragement and heart you bring to Vocalescence. We’re so lucky to have you! 🥰

💜 MEMBER MONDAY | MEET SHARON 💜

Six years ago, Sharon “Shazzy” Cartwright arrived at Vocalescence as an experienced singer and leader, having left behind a chorus she loved when she moved from Sydney.

What she found here was a new village. 💜

Today, Shazzy is not only our Bass Specialist, but also the President-Elect of SingUnited International. She loves helping every Bass grow in skill, confidence and enjoyment, and experiencing one of her favourite things: that moment when someone suddenly realises, “I can actually do this.” 🎶

Beyond Vocalescence, Shazzy brings decades of professional leadership and communication experience to her work with SingUnited International, teaching and facilitating in leadership and culture and supporting choruses and singers around the world.

But it’s the way she shows up for our chorus that saw her fellow members vote her the 2026 Spirit of Vocalescence Award recipient. 🏆

The award recognises someone who consistently lives our guiding purpose words:

✨ Dream. Inspire. Unite. Achieve. ✨

For Shazzy, being chosen by her song sisters meant feeling “honoured, respected, and genuinely seen — not just for what I do, but for how I strive to show up within Vocalescence.”

And perhaps one of the most Shazzy lessons of all?

💜 Be comfortable with discomfort.

Growth can be messy. Not every good idea works immediately. Stay curious, learn from it, give it time and trust the process.

From the Bass risers to her carpool crew, the Specialists Team and the friendships she’s built along the way, Shazzy says Vocalescence has given her friendship, purpose and belonging.

We think she’s given us quite a bit in return. 🥰

Congratulations to our 2026 Spirit of Vocalescence, Shazzy! 💜

💜 MEMBER MONDAY… ON A WEDNESDAY! 💜

School holidays have officially put us out of whack, but we couldn’t let the week go by without introducing you to our youngest song sisters — Indi! 🎶🥰

Indi joined Vocalescence earlier this year as a Lead, bringing with her a love of singing, dancing and music. She’s already an experienced school choir kid, has performed at Eisteddfods and shows, and is in her fourth year of learning piano. 🎹

Since walking through our doors, Indi says one of the biggest changes has been her confidence:

✨ “I have built so much confidence in a short time and love feeling that I can do it!” ✨

With her mum Kat H beside her, buddy Sue J, Jen, her fellow Leads and a whole chorus of women cheering her on, Indi has well and truly become part of the Vocalescence family. 💜

And she’s only getting started! Next on her list? More incredible coaches, another retreat, learning new songs and, most importantly, Convention! 🎶

We absolutely love watching the next generation discover the joy of harmony singing.

We’re so glad you’re here, Indi! 🥰

💙 TRUE BLUE | SUE ANTILL 💙

Every month, we recognise someone who quietly embodies what makes Vocalescence so special, our True Blue.

This month, that person is Sue Antill. 💙

Sue is the kind of person who notices when someone needs a little help and simply steps in. Whether it’s finding sheet music, making sure someone is ready, offering guidance or just being a calm, reassuring presence, she gives her time freely and never makes you feel like anything is too much trouble.

Her support isn’t loud or showy. It’s warm, genuine and steady.

Sue represents the kindness, generosity and sense of community at the heart of Vocalescence. She reminds us that we’re in this together, we can rely on one another, and no one has to navigate their chorus journey alone.

A quiet supporter. A steady presence. And someone who makes our chorus better simply by being herself.

Congratulations to our True Blue, Sue! 💙🥰
