Jayne Glynn - Academy Leader
Jayne has been part of the Sound Pop Academy team since the very beginning and is passionate about providing exciting sessions that develop social skills, confidence and emotional resilience along with the development of vocal and performance skills.
Jayne has always had a passion for working with young people. After graduating from Winchester University in 2007 as a qualified teacher, Jayne has gained lots of experience supporting young people with their educational, emotional and social development. Throughout her experience as a teacher, Jayne has led school choirs and singing assemblies in different schools.
Alongside her role as a teacher, Jayne also works for SingForce providing workplace choir sessions for a variety of businesses. Jayne is also a session vocalist. She records guide backing tracks for choir leaders to use during the teaching process for many different choirs, including Sound Pop Academy.
Jayne also sings for pleasure in her own time. Since joining Love Soul Choir in 2014, Jayne has performed at many different events. These performances include a Westquay flashmob, ‘One Sound’ at Mayflower Theatre and performing onstage with Take That at St Mary’s stadium in May 2019.
Sophie Allen - Academy Assistant
Sophie has loved music for as long as she can remember and was inspired to start singing at a young age after joining a choir. She decided to pursue this hobby more seriously during her teens, achieving a BA (Hons) degree in Professional Musicianship from the British and Irish Institute of Modern Music, and is currently studying for her master’s degree in Music Performance at the University of Southampton.
Sophie has experience performing in a variety of bands and choral groups both as a lead and backing vocalist and has been lucky enough to perform in some prominent music venues across Southampton and Bristol including The Brook, Thekla and The Fleece. She has also gained significant experience within the recording studio, recording original music for release on various music streaming platforms.
Amazing relationships
I couldn't wish for more amazing leaders and assistants to run the sessions. They have all built up real positive relationships with all the children and their families.A Sound Pop Academy parent
A great outlet
As a parent of a child who does not stop singing it was great to find an outlet for her love of it. My daughter raved about how much fun she had and the new friends she made.Kelly, Southampton
