Helen-Helena's Music.
Приєднався 18 кві 2015
Call me Helen, or Helena Poisson - I answer to both. (It's a long story.)
I'm an English teacher--composer based in the Loire Valley in France. Here are some songs and pieces that I have written for each of my children and grandchildren, and more besides. Sometimes I recorded them from concerts, sometimes kind musician friends played them through for me to film.....thank you all so much!
I hope that you will find some music that you enjoy on this channel. I loved writing it.
