I was awarded a Scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music and gained my Diploma in 1988, presented by Diana Princess of Wales. I then enjoyed a career as a soloist, singing at most of the major UK venues including English National Opera, Royal Opera House & Garsington Opera. I now work as a singing teacher and run the fast-growing Sing Anything! Clubs for those that like to sing as part of a group. This will soon be available directly online.

My experience in voice production ranges from performances in the classical repertoire and in music theatre e.g. 'Phantom of the Opera', the best musical in town. I have expert knowledge in vocal repertoire covering all styles which is combined with a striaghtforward teaching technique and endless enthusiasm. All my students have all developed to their fullest vocal potential.

Ranging from complete beginners who think they're tone-deaf, to professional singers, such as members of the Abba tribute band Bjorn Again and legendary rock band Thin Lizzy, my students have also included members of the Saudi Royal Family.

I am available for singing lessons in London, Paris, Dubai and New York and am contactable by mobile phone worldwide, assisting you with any vocal issues you may have. Singing lessons by telephone are also available. Some people prefer to sing with
others in a supportive group.

Helen will be available for singing consultations in the following cities:

Paris: April 1st - 4th
New York: April 11th - 14th
Moscow: May 11th - 15th
Singapore: June 27th - 29th
Hong Kong: June 30th - July 2nd

Workshops for team building

Working alongside top facilitators, we run regular workshops, which allow individuals the chance to improve all aspects of their singing covering styles such as gospel, jazz improvisation, singing for the tone-deaf, harmony singing and songwriting. Please see our Corporate page here.
