Eleanor Adams

 Name: Eleanor Adams

Job role: Drama Worker

Work history:  I graduated from Newcastle University with a BA (Hons) degree in contemporary and popular music in July 2023. I have sung in church choirs from the age of 9 which has given me opportunities to sing in cathedrals across the country and work as part of a collaborative team to produce high-quality music. At A-Level I began performing in more contemporary styles and now perform as part of a 4-piece band who regularly gig across Newcastle. While working with adults with learning disabilities and autism is a new area for me, I am passionate about providing opportunities for all people to play, perform and have fun with live music.

Personal statement: I began working with the Band Academy in July 2023 and from September 2023 will also be a permanent worker at the Morpeth Academy. I love the positivity and support which lies at the heart of The Twisting Ducks, and enjoy seeing our members explore different ways to express themselves in such an encouraging environment.
