Accomplished soprano and singing teacher Helen Astrid is running a series of singing workshops in 2012, each with a different focus, aimed at inspiring and challenging you.

Helen's patient nature will guide you step by step through demonstration and gentle encouragement. You don't need to be able to read music or have any previous experience, unless stated. You'll gain confidence in what promises to be a supportive and non-judgemental environment. The workshops are also immense fun.

"I really appreciate Helen's warmth and encouragement and feel honoured to have taken part on the workshop. Helen empowers without pushing and respects everyone's individual pace." Gill Terry, participant.
