Building a Great Performance
Sharpen your skills this Summer with three energetic and experienced tutors in our intensive one-day vocal workshop on Tuesday 22nd January 2019.
Toby Francis, Sophie Carter and Helen Perris will give you the lowdown on the tools you need to build amazing vocal performances. The workshop is open to ages 10 to 19. Proudly presented by Helen Perris Music Studio.

“Toby Francis (Galileo) has a vocal range and strength approaching [Freddie] Mercury’s” – Stage Whispers
You 
may know Sophie Carter as one of The 100 from TV singing competition “All Together Now”, but she also has a substantial list of credits to her name including Jan in Grease the Arena Spectacular, Diva in Priscilla Queen of the Desert, plus King Kong and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
