12 year-old* Nicolle has passed ABRSM Performance Grade 3 and Performance Grade 4 in Singing for Musical Theatre and is currently working towards Grade 5.
Nicolle is an Amber Music Award recipient, receiving singing lessons with her music teacher, Ilona, and has been an Amber recipient since 2023.
Nicolle’s mum Erin says ‘Nicolle has an amazing and outstanding singing teacher whom we could not have afforded if it weren’t for the Amber Trust. Ilona knows how to get the best out of her, really believes in her, and is very accommodating of her needs’.
‘I love my singing lessons… it’s my space to have fun, be me… and let out my voice’ Nicolle
Nicolle wants to be a singer and so is working hard to develop and strengthen her voice. Erin tells us ‘singing (no matter what genre or how loud) has always transported Nicolle to a very peaceful place, and she wouldn’t be without it. Music is so valuable and a big part of her life.
‘We are so grateful for Amber’s support. By supporting young Blind and Partially Sighted musicians, The Amber Trust make a statement that they believe in them and that in itself does wonders!’
Nicolle’s Award is supported by The Rockspring Charitable Trust.
