Gedling Eye is throwing its support behind our amazing local businesses in the borough – and we are now urging you to do the same and our campaign continues with amazing The Rebecca Lomas Academy of Voice.
Rebecca Lomas opened her academy in 2017 in Netherfield with just 10 students and the academy has gone from strength to strength.
Gedling Eye caught up with Rebecca who said: “I started singing at the age of ten when a primary school teacher heard something in my voice and called my parents (who were just as surprised as I was).
“I then went on to private singing tuition with Lynn Wayman who put me through my Musical theatre exams that’s when my real love of Theatre began. I then went onto train at the Midlands academy of dance and drama where I gained my Musical theatre diploma.
“Upon graduating I was lucky enough to work on many different performing contracts across the world from High school musical touring Ireland, performing and singing at the Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix to being shortlisted to represent the UK and Ireland and the Eurovision Song Contest.”
The Academy that opened in 2017 now runs classes in Netherfield and Arnold as well as private 121 singing lessons and Half term performance workshops with over 50 students.
Rebecca added: “As well as my performing I’ve taught singing and the performing arts from the age of 18 and I really feel my professional performing experience helps me add another element to my teaching skills of what I have to offer the future stars of tomorrow.
“I’ve always had a passion for teaching and seeing children thrive through the performing arts. I really believe the skills you learn in performing arts classes can be used in all walks of life and it arms children with great skills that they can use in the future.
“Our classes offer group singing, dancing and drama in one session as well as lots of fun confidence building games in between. our sessions are fun and energetic and children always leave with a smile on their face which is what it’s all about.”
Sessions in Netherfield run every Wednesday during term time 5-7pm at the St George’s Centre and sessions in Arnold run every Friday during term time 4:20-5:20pm at Killisick Junior School.
The academy is also hosting a half term workshop in Netherfield on February 12 based on the musical ‘SIX’ – to reserve your child’s place please contact the academy.
