“Helen joined us for a busy day designed to promote brass playing in our local schools and encourage new recruits to come to our community youth band. Helen’s delivery is exceptional. She can tailor the sessions for both primary and high school pupils and engage young people who were enjoying playing a brass instrument within literally a few minutes using relevant and appealing resources. She is the epitome of a brass bander and her enthusiasm is infectious. Everyone had a brilliant time.”
