Joanne

Musical Director

“Teaching at Theatretrain is not just about the mechanics of the voice but training young performers to act through song, explore a wide field of repertoire and to the finished results in terms of the fully staged show. It’s great to see them develop and have the confidence to solos as well as being valued members of a vocal ensemble”
