Elle Youdan

Elle Youdan's journey into the world of music is a testament to the power of exploration. As a child, she dabbled in various extracurricular activities, from sports to art and acting, but it wasn't until she spontaneously decided to try music that she found her true calling. Music had always been a source of joy and inspiration for her, and after a trial guitar lesson at the School of Rock, she never looked back.

Elle's passion for music has evolved into a deep commitment to sharing her love for the art with others. As an educator, her goal is to inspire her students to discover the same profound connection with music and performing that she did during her time as a student. School of Rock holds a special place in her heart, offering an environment where she can express herself without judgment and find a sense of belonging. Elle is determined to create a similar sense of fun and community for her students.

In her musical journey, Elle has embraced self-exploration and honed her skills through formal music education. While she admires guitarists like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and David Gilmour, she aspires to master the elusive quality of "feel" in her guitar playing, allowing her to express herself even more deeply through music.

Elle's musical heroes include Slash, Ace Frehley, and Hayley Williams. Paramore, led by Hayley Williams, holds a special place in her heart, making it her all-time favourite band. She dreams of having dinner with guitar virtuosos Guthrie Govan and John Petrucci, known for their otherworldly guitar skills.

Beyond music, Elle enjoys art, TV shows, and video games. Her favourite meal is a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak with a loaded potato on the side. Elle's dream destination is Greece, where she hopes to explore the rich history, culture, and mythology that have always fascinated her.
