Stephanie Carter

SENIOR TEACHER; DIRECTOR OF YOUTH CHOIR

Steph has been a vocal coach with The Arts Centre from 2010, when TACT first began its vocal education programme. She first studied Popular Music at the University of Chester, and later moved to London to study Music Education. Steph is an experienced teacher of Music and Drama. She is a vocal music specialist, who also teaches woodwind, music theory, and (occasionally) ESOL.

With a high energy and eclectic approach to teaching, Steph encourages students to find the same enjoyment through music and performance that she does. Steph now has fifteen years of outstanding examination results to her name and her vocal teaching timetable continues to grow by popular demand.

Between 2015 and 2021, Steph taught Music and Performing Arts at Brownhills Ormiston Academy. She also taught singing at Hadley Learning Community and Wrekin College. Steph relocated to Spain between 2021-2023 to be Director of Music at Thames British International School in Madrid. Steph returned to the Brownhills teaching team in 2024.

Steph formed the TACT Youth Choir which made its debut performance early in the Autumn Term 2015 and has gone on to perform at competitions and festivals over the last decade. The youth choir is a firm favourite at the annual Christmas concert.

An experienced performer, Steph has taken lead roles in several musical theatre productions, including many with VIP, TACT's flagship performance outlet. As a professional singer, Steph often performs at corporate events, festivals, weddings and for recordings.

Steph has strong connections with Mid Wales, where her family are the proud owners of The Lost ARC, an arts café and music venue in Rhayader. Be sure to visit them at thelostarc.co.uk to find out more.
