About Sharon Ashton

I have a wealth of experience as a professional performer and qualified teacher of performing arts subjects. I have an excellent working knowledge of the performing arts industry and it's working practices. My work has given me the opportunities to work all over the world with people from all walks of life and has given me a great insight on what motivates people of all ages. I am very experienced at teaching and working with children and adults of varying abilities. I can boost confidence and help others really believe in themselves and be part of a team that focuses to achieve the desired goal or target. I can creatively come up with solutions to problems this comes from years of having to think on my feet when dealing with the public. I have excellent communication, team and leadership skills. I am constantly updating my skills and knowledge of teaching practice; entertainment policies and guidelines to ensure those I work with are working with safe practice. My 30 years in the industry are invaluable to my teaching and keep my lessons filled with industry relevance. Knowing first hand what is required to put on a performance from on stage and off and provide an all round diverse program of events is what I thrive on. I am a motivated individual who works well in a team and I love discovering what makes people tick so I can help them be the best version of themselves so we move together as positive motivated group.

The school was a private fee paying theatre school based in Rodney Street Liverpool and had a history of producing high quality students who went onto the performing arts industry. I was teaching those from juniors through to GCSE. When an opening came up for the Head of Dept position, the principal felt I had the requirements and industry experience to really promote the department. I balanced this position alongside my singing career but unfortunately international touring commitments made it impossible to do both. The school sadly closed and I continued to teach privately.
