All singing, all dancing

Jessica

Jessica is 14 and loves to sing; she has had the chance to sing in school since the age of 5, developing her broader musical skills through the National Curriculum.

Although she had the chance to play a musical instrument, it wasn't for her. Through her local Hub, Jessica has been able to really explore vocal styles ,taking part in formal and informal workshops in Classical, Musical Theatre, Folk, Jazz and Blues and Pop and Rock.

In the last year, Jessica has been really drawn to Music Theatre and has had the opportunity to travel to see live performances and take part in workshops and masterclasses with professionally trained musical theatre singers. This year, she will sing the lead in The Phantom of the Opera with the local Theatre School where she has the chance to also develop her acting and dance skills.

'I love acting and dancing now but if it wasn’t for the opportunity to sing through the Hub, I wouldn’t be doing this show.'
