Helen Strong

Biography

I have lived in the Caversham area for most of my life and I currently live in Emmer Green with my husband and daughter.

Having graduated from Cardiff University in Music and Education I trained as a Primary School teacher and spent 4 years working as a class teacher with responsibility for Music across the school, and 5 years as a music specialist teaching music to children aged 4 to 11. My teaching roles included leading choirs, teaching recorders, and organising musical productions. I also teach private piano lessons at home.

I have always had a great love of music. As a child I was drawn to the piano and was fortunate that my parents developed this by finding me a piano teacher when I was 6. At school I enjoyed playing the recorder and singing in the choir and played in a Swing band and a rock and roll band during my teens. I became a music teacher as I had a great desire to pass on this love and enjoyment of music, believing that all children should have musical opportunities at a young age. I have been privileged to have seen many children blossom as a result of music and have seen how it can improve their self confidence and achievement in other areas.

When I had my daughter I was amazed to see how she responded to music from her earliest days. When looking for a new challenge to fit in with my role as a mum, I discovered Kindermusik. I was impressed with the quality of the materials and the amount of research used to develop the activities. I was excited about using my music and teaching skills to introduce music to the very youngest children. I trained as a Kindermusik teacher and was licensed in July 2005.
