Musical Director: Hannah Zelei-Good

We welcomed our new choir director, Hannah in September 2025, and we are really looking forward to working alongside her.

Accompanist: Sue Ogden

Sue started piano lessons at the age of eight. Her love of accompanying quickly became evident at high school where she played for the school choir and for soloists in concerts. She gained a BA (Hons) in Music at Huddersfield Polytechnic, studying piano with Martin Roscoe, as well as organ and harpsichord. She then completed a PGCE and holds an LTCL in Piano Performance. Sue has always worked in the Huddersfield area, teaching music from Primary through to FE level. After more than 20 years in the primary classroom as well as five years of teaching piano and keyboard for Kirklees Music School (#Musica), she now focusses on her private teaching practice and accompanying. She plays for classes at Holmfirth Musical Festival and for the Kirklees Primary Music Festival. Sue has accompanied a number of local choirs and amateur dramatic societies, performing a wide range of music from Bach to Buddy Holly. She has been The Huddersfield Singers’ regular accompanist since 2001 and was appointed to Denby Dale Ladies Choir in 2013.
