Teaching

Helen has been teaching singing for over 20 years, since graduating from Trinity College of Music, London, and her pupils achieve outstanding exam results and many other successes at local and national level. She started teaching from her fathers music room at the age of 14 to earn some pocket money. It started with beginners recorder lessons, often entering the students for exams. 

 

Helen carried on her passion for teaching after graduating, first at The German School in London, where she stayed until 2019. Then from 2015-2020 Helen taught at The Royal School in Haslemere and from 2020 Helen took on the singing teacher position at Lincoln Minster School.

Many of her pupils have achieved scholarships to further their vocal studies at other schools including Repton, Lincoln Minster, Worksop College, Shrewsbury school, Choral scholarships to Cambridge Universities, and also to Arts Ed and ACM in Guildford.  Many of Helen's previous students now have successful careers in performance.
