Having been born into a Brass Banding family, music has always been in Becky’s blood!
Becky learned to play Cornet with Ratby Band at the age of 5 and still plays with them in the Championship section today. After playing Cornet, Horn and Euphonium Becky took up the reins on trombone at the age of 10 and has never looked back. Winning the National Youth Championships Best Instrumentalist at the age of 16 set her in good stead for an abundance of solo prizes over the years.
Over the years Becky has performed in Orchestras, Wind Bands, Brass Bands and many more ensembles and is regularly performing in the orchestra pit for Professional Shows.
After obtaining her Music Degree at Chichester University, Becky studied for her PGCE where she returned to Leicester in 2002 where she continues to work as a Primary School Teacher.
As well as a freelance brass teacher, Becky took the helm as Conductor of Ratby Junior Band in 2003 and has taken them on many tours, training weekends, competitions and concerts. “working with young people is what I love best”.
Becky’s first Wessex Band Course was in 1985 where she played clarinet in the training band! Becky has been a member of the course ever since, working her way through the ranks and enjoying playing principle trombone. Wessex will always have a special part to play in my musical life and I am privileged to be able to put back into the course what I received over the years.
