My Testimonials
Name of the person who provided this testimonial: Emma
Helen was one of my very first clarinet teachers, and my progress was incredible during my time with her. I excelled in confidence, and she gave me the courage to perform. Her teaching style was very patient and I don't think I could be where I am without her
Name of the person who provided this testimonial: Ellie
I was a former student at Archbishop Beck school and I played clarinet for a number of years through high school and sixth form. Through my school life Helen always supported me and gave the confidence I never had. She improved my music skills as her teaching was very effective and she made a huge impact on me.
Helen helped me through my grade 5 which I was really struggling with and I passed which I never thought would happen. She was always there to support me both in and out of work, I feel like with her teaching I became better than I ever was musically not only with my skills and knowledge improving but also my confidence. She is such a lovely and inspirational person who i have always looked up to and still will be from this day. She's both such a good friend and teacher!
Name of the person who provided this testimonial: Anna
Helen was my first clarinet teacher and guided me through my grade 1 exam. Helen is a very motivational teacher and I looked forward to my weekly lesson in which she would be very encouraging and would cater her way of teaching around the elements I excelled in and struggled with.
Name of the person who provided this testimonial: Sophie
Helen became my teacher for a year and in that short period of time she transformed my playing more than any other teacher I have had. I became more confident, I understood how to not just play the notes but to feel the mood of the music and express different dynamics and feelings, my musical theory improved a lot and she made me enjoy coming to lessons and practicing my clarinet which was a first for me. Helen has the talent of bringing out the best in all of her students and helps them to gain an appreciation of music as a whole rather than just learning notes for an exam. I was very grateful for her help and because of Helen I achieved my Grade 7 which is something I never thought I would achieve.
