Tina has also enjoyed singing in choirs and various musical groups, which includes a national and international winning barbershop chorus. In later years Tina returned to education studying music and in-depth vocal technique leading on to work with children and adults in theatre schools and her own studio in the UK for many years. Her repertoire has included Coloratura Soprano Arias, Lieder, Art songs, Oratorio, Classical
and Operetta, Modern ballads and Light Jazz, including what is termed Classical Cross-Over. Currently Tina enjoys performances in Cyprus with Mixed Genre and also in collaboration with other musicians for Classical concerts.
