My name is Zoë Helm and I live and work in New York City. I grew up dancing and danced professionally as an adult. That is where I learned discipline and musicality. When I turned my focus from dancing to music, I felt at a loss. I had always been a singer and performed for audiences, but I am also a songwriter and at the time, almost no one had heard my songs. I didn’t know how to play an instrument and couldn’t accompany myself. After struggling to find a collaborator, I decided to take piano lessons and learn to play for myself. I developed my confidence and musical literacy, started a band, and soon achieved my dream of performing my own original music for live audiences.
It is my hope to offer that sense of empowerment and self-sufficiency to musicians who aspire to sing their own music. I know what it is to feel like something is missing from your skill set. I am here to help you discover the capacity of your natural voice and learn to express yourself freely. I believe that singing is a human birthright and, with guidance, anyone can learn the skills to sing well.
ABOUT ME
MY vocal Training
-
Training
I attended a small theatre conservatory where I studied classical voice, musical theatre, acting, and many styles of dance.
Later, I began working with a private voice teacher and vocologist who helped me develop my technique and artistry. I still work with them today. Every teacher needs a teacher!

Teaching
With my own voice teacher as a mentor, I began to embark on my voice teacher training. I earned a certificate in Contemporary Voice Teaching from the John Henny Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy and I am always continuing my education. Never stop learning!

Performance
I strongly believe in the power of learning through doing and I walk the walk. Independently and with my band, I am always taking opportunities to perform for an audience. These days, I am also honing my skills in the recording studio.
