Tina
Little Belters founderTina, who is a graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music, has performed at the world-famous Glyndebourne Festival Opera and at the Royal Albert Hall in the Last Night of the Proms.
Following these successes, she went on to perform as a recitalist across Europe and the USA.
Later, Tina set up her own successful music education programme, Music and Voices, which she and her team deliver in schools across Greater Manchester. As part of this, she takes opera into schools where she guides the children as they write, produce and then perform their own opera.
Tina still finds time to continue her own singing career, regularly performing as a soloist in recitals throughout the North West.
