BECKY
My name is Becky, and I am delighted and excited to be the Principal of Little Voices East Lancashire, Craven, Wharfedale and Harrogate. I returned to live in this area in Summer 2023 after moving to the south to qualify as a primary school teacher, where I remained for a number of years with my husband and two children. However, I am a northerner born and bred, having lived in Skipton throughout my childhood. Circumstances have happily meant that I am able to return ‘home’ and now live with my husband on the East Lancs/Yorkshire border.
Having been a primary teacher for many years I have always continued to nurture and grow my passion for the performing arts. I have sung in many choirs and played in the viola in several orchestras, alongside continuing to teach. I believe passionately in and continue to see first hand the countless benefits that involvement in learning and sharing the performing arts can bring to children in boosting well-being, success in all aspects of their learning and confidence boosting to name but a few. The pillars upon which Little Voices is built aligns perfectly with my own educational ethos.
I am very fortunate to be supported by inspirational and passionate Tutors, who bring experience and expertise in Drama and Singing. I am joined in Colne (Trawden) and Skipton by Amy Battle, who is our Head of Centre in both venues and leads our Drama lessons, and by Jessica Broadbent, our lovely Singing Tutor!
