Hi I'm Helen - new member

Hello to everyone,
Am a musician/singer/vocal teacher/festival organizer, etc...and am based in Switzerland.

I've been in the music business for 3 decades in various functions. Have been signed on with EMI (Malaysia) in my earlier days when I was part of a duet. Studied Jazz composition at Berklee College of Music '88.

At the moment, I'm busy with our 21 year old youth development project 'Bandstand Learning with Rolemodels'. It has turned into a music festival since. We produce new works and re-make of standard ones too. We place selected young musicians on the bandstand with renowned professionals to study the project for a week (as in an apprenticeship) to perform together in a grand setting at the festival. So far it's been far reaching and rewarding. Our alumni are active in the music scene, local and international.

I find this site interesting and wonder why I had not joined a music forum like this till now.

Hope to make some good acquaintances here. So much about me for now...

Have a great day, everyone.
Helen
