I am absolutely appalling at social media, but I couldn’t not say a MASSIVE well done to my incredible further stages students at

Yesterday afternoon they performed a shortened version of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and they were outstanding. To stand on stage alongside this group of young performers was an honour and I genuinely adore each and every one of them.

You did us proud guys, you really did 💛

After an incredible dress and tech yesterday, it would be so lovely for these guys to have a full and supportive audience this Saturday. A production which began in 2020 is ready to go at long last, so if you love High School Musical as much as I do, please come along!

✨Happy New Year!✨

Hello everyone! I’ve been a little quiet on here for the last 6 months and I thought today would be the best time to reconnect and do a little recap on the second half of my 2021.

The main reason for my absence is due to the fact that in July I was in a pretty severe car accident. I was okay, all things considered, but my August was spent in my house recovering both physically and mentally.

However! Come September, I was back to work and back to teaching. Here are some highlights:

• I started teaching at a new location which I absolutely adore and can’t wait to get back to
• I managed to see my absolute favourite musical Blood Brothers in Newcastle
• I finally got to meet three of my online students and watched them perform in separate musicals; one being Joseph and the other was the Addams Family
• And my year rounded off with a trip to London with my family to watch some of our students perform on a West End stage

So overall, my 2021 wasn’t all bad, but I am more than happy to put it behind me. I’m looking forward to seeing what 2022 holds and I’m excited to get back to teaching! 💛

What are your 2021 highlights? 🌟

A HUGE well done to all of my students who received their GCSE results yesterday 💛 It filled me with so much joy to see your wonderful success and I couldn’t be prouder. After such a tough few years you DID IT! ✨

✨Student Spotlight✨

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to share with you all a belated clip of my wonderful Sam absolutely smashing the hardest section of On My Own from Les Mis. I have experienced a tough personal situation over the last few weeks but this lady, as well my other fantastic students, have been a light in a very dark time. I couldn’t be prouder of Sam and I genuinely look forward to her lessons. Well done Sam! 💛

Thinking of all of my students getting their A Level results today ✨

Please remember - if you don’t get what you had hoped for, the journey is not over. You have options. You have a choice. You have potential. The numbers don’t define you, you define you.

Wherever you move onto next, give it everything you’ve got 💛

Saw this gem of a memory pop up this morning and I thought I’d share it 🌟

Six years ago (feels like six minutes ago...), I was offered a contract to work at Disneyland Paris. At the time, I also had a place at Northumbria university to gain my PGCE degree in primary education, but the choice was simple. I chose a dream and boy did it pay off. I had the most amazing time working for Disney and still to this day it is the coolest thing I have ever done ✨

So if you take anything away from this post, take this: follow your dream. Real life can wait. And if you were meant to do something else, it will be there when you come back if it is the right thing for you to do 💛 Happy Tuesday!

Happy hump day! 🌟

With the restrictions lifting and life becoming somewhat normal again, I am coming out of the screen (not like the girl from the ring) and offering face to face lessons from the comfort of your home! 🏡

From now, I am travelling to clients homes and providing face to face training in both singing and acting for a small additional fee to cover my travel. Some of my students will be staying on Zoom, which is absolutely fine, but for others, this is an opportunity to learn and train without the constraints of a computer screen.

So! If you would like me to come to your home (I’m house friendly, don’t worry) then get in touch! 🌟
