Manchester Voice And Piano

Piano, Singing and Music Theory, for all ages and abilities. Local business, competitive rates, based in Stretford

I spent 6 years as a high school music teacher, and then became a full time professional musician. I'm now the lead singer of Manchester based band 'The Retrosettes'. I have a Bachelor of Music degree, and also a PGCE in Music. My GCSE pass rate for music were 100% A*-C, with my speciality in composition and performance.

I am a qualified singing teacher and have taught large groups as well as one to one. I specialise in Pop and Musical Theatre. I teach in a very relaxed way, either at my own home in Stretford, or will travel to your house.

Mel:
"Helen is an excellent teacher, we have been very impressed with how our daughter has improved not only in her playing but in her confidence. We have chosen not to do exams but to play music she enjoys to play but keeping it a mixture o f classical, jazz /blues, and pop. In the words of my daughter, Helen is kind, pushes you out of your comfort zone, and explains things clearly. "

Mandy:
"I started learning to play the piano as an adult and Helen has been a brilliant teacher. She's changed my attitude from 'That's too hard to play, I can't do that' to 'Of course I can do it, we'll work it out'.
She's very friendly and approachable and always has a solution when I'm struggling with part of a piece. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn to play"

'‘Helen has all of the key elements for a great teacher. Her patience will support you but her encouragement will push you to achieve your potential. Helen’s sheer enthusiasm and dedication to teaching has inspired me to achieve goals I never would have reached for. Her personable, bright character along with her passion for music will make learning an enjoyable experience. '
