Becky Oliver
I am a professional singer and musical theatre performer & teacher. After graduating from the Italia Conti Academy of Performing Arts in London with Honours, I toured Germany in ‘Phantom of the Opera’ understudying and playing the role of Christine.
Since then I have appeared in numerous productions including: ‘Cabaret’, Union Theatre, London, ‘Return to the Forbidden Planet’, London and Herts, ‘Tonight’, Peacock Theatre, London. I have also appeared in many pantomimes up and down the country playing principal girl and more recently the Wicked Witch!
I have been a session singer and vocalist for various bands & even toured the UK and Ireland as a Magician's assistant!
I began teaching in my last year at Italia Conti and am very lucky to be teaching music and performing arts at several different schools in Essex & Herts to students aged 5 months - adult!
I started Tempos Performing Arts as an extension of our successful Tiny Tempos TM music and movement classes for under 3's. I wanted to build a school where we could offer classes for all stages of their childhood and keep our family atmosphere. Our ethos is fun, practical, affordable professional tuition which will give all our students the self confidence to do whatever they dream of! I am extremely lucky to be able to work with my friends and family to create this award winning school.

With an MA in Education, I was a Primary Teacher and Deputy Head for 25 years then taught music in local schools whilst also being a mum of 2.

I started learning the piano when I was 5 and I play the clarinet in 2 Wind bands. I truly believe that playing music and singing together is one of the best things we can give children for their social emotional and language development. Plus it is great fun!!
