This weekend SPAA was excited to welcome the amazing Musical Director, Keys & Keytar, Vocalist - Ellie Verkerk.
Our Year 2 & 3 Musical Theatre cohorts were treated to exclusive masterclasses on Saturday, where they spent the morning training and working with Ellie on pieces from the West End musical sensations ‘Jersey Boys’ and ‘SIX’.
Drawing upon over 25 years teaching and gigging experience, Ellie combines her background as a performer, multi-instrumentalist and orchestral musician with a strong focus on rock, immersive, and contemporary theatrical art forms. Equally comfortable on stage, as a musical director sitting behind the keyboard, or teaching a group of students, Ellie has established strong connections with an inspiring and diverse network of creatives, vocal health practitioners and occupational therapists.To find out more about Ellie Verkerk, head to her website: https://www.ellieverkerk.com/
