Helen has contacts with a number of professional musicians and works regularly with classically trained soprano, Gillian Wells, and cellist, Rachel Woolmer.  If you're not sure what you're looking for, or what is suitable for your venue, please get in touch.  Helen will be happy to help you and advise.  ​

If you are hoping to arrange live music but your venue doesn't have a piano, Helen can bring her own high-quality portable electric piano and amplifier.  Listen to a recording here.
