Helen Hooker
Helen Hooker studied the recorder at Trinity College of Music
and now enjoys teaching, performing, conducting, writing and
arranging for the recorder. Helen performs regularly and released
her first solo CD, Helen and Friends, in 2010. Helen teaches on
residential courses throughout the British Isles and recently
published her first recorder eBook.
My approach to teaching:
My approach to teaching is a practical one, helping students to
improve their technique and musicianship through the music they
play. I like my students to understand why they should do things a
certain way as well as how they can do this.
What inspires my own work:
My inspiration comes from listening and learning from performances
by masters of the recorder and from the music I play myself. I have
a particular love for Baroque music and works written within the
last century.
