Maria Outram AVCM (Hons.)
Biography
I have been performing as a professional vocalist, musician and entertainer since 1990 as a solo performer and in various bands and as leading lady in several stage productions (such as The Sound Of Music playing “Maria VonTrapp”, Guys & Dolls playing “Sarah Brown” & The Hot Mikado playing “Yum-Yum”)
I have performed on UK National Television (alongside notable celebrities such as Cilla Black, Enrique Englesias, Noel Edmonds & Michael Barrymore) & on National and local radio in Wales, UK.
I learned to play keyboard and organ and had vocal training which enabled me to perform as a soloist at many venues around Pembrokeshire. I gained an Associate diploma for performance from the Victoria College of Music London.

I was managing director of Haverfordwest Music Academy (Wales, UK) with over 100 students (keyboard, piano and singing)
from 1993 until 2007. During this period I assisted many students through examinations with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, Trinity College & Rock-school and I had a 100% pass rate.
I provided support for students entering GCSE Music Practical Examinations as well as for students entering local festivals and competitions.
As part of Haverfordwest Music Academy I arranged fundraising events and concerts for charities such as the Motor Neurone Disease Association, Help the Aged, Cancer Research Wales & Children In Need.
In 2007 I moved to Paphos (Cyprus) with my husband, and fellow musician, Jim to pursue our careers as professional musicians
Since moving to Cyprus I have been employed as lead vocal coach for Limassol Theatre Arts School (LTAS) since January 2011
(to current date) and have taught Music to the Primary school students of Foley's Grammar School (Limassol, Cyprus) from 2007 until 2014 and I currently teach Music to Primary & Secondary school students at TLC Private School Peyia.
