Listen "Quit your day job with Becs Leighton"
Episode Synopsis
Today we’re heading to the UK to visit Becs Leighton. Becs had a successful career and one that she enjoyed before she gave it up to go all in with teaching and find a better life-balance for her and her family. I hope you’ll be inspired by her bravery and passion, I know I was!Becs Leighton is a piano and flute teacher based in Bingley, West Yorkshire. She teaches from a studio in her back garden, and she teaches all ages from 4 to retired-a-long-time-ago! She is also one of the 2 Musical Directors of Bradford and Airedale Youth Choir, and occasional MD for theatre productions. Her core teaching values are built on her belief that music is for everyone - it should be inclusive, collaborative, individualised, inspiring and fun. She absolutely LOVES her job and is super geeky about putting theory into practice, so you'll find her on any training courses that help her understand more about piano and flute pedagogy, vocal coaching, and how our brains work!Links mentioned today…Vibrant Music Teaching: vibrantmusicteaching.com
