Little Voices Ealing Team

Hello from Little Voices Ealing

Jemma Bird (Principal)

Hello! My name is Jemma and I am the Principal of Little Voices in Brentford East and Ealing. I have been teaching for 9 years after receiving a BA Hons in Music and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. I am a trained classical and musical theatre singer, pianist, producer and songwriter.

Over the past 9 years I have been Head of Year, Head of Music and Head of Vocational Subjects- at one point all at the same time!I am a Specialist Leader of Educationwhich involves training trainee teachers and coaching teachers about how to help pupils develop important life skills through the curriculum.

I believe so much in the importanceof teaching the Arts in education to help develop transferable skills. I have produced and choreographed many shows including Hairsprayand Into the Woods. One of the biggest projects I have accomplished is organising an Arts Weekfor 15 different schools across England! Performing Arts was such a big part of my childhood. I performed in musicals, sang in choirs and went on tour with a Concert Band around the South of France.

All of the memories and the experience I had growing up has given me the passion to provide other children with the same opportunities.

In London Chloe began teaching children and loves that she can share her love of singing and drama with the next generation of performers.
