Helena Schulze
Oboe & voice
Born in 2002 in Wuppertal (Germany).
Helena has been studying instrumental pedagogy for oboe at the Cologne University of Music and Dance (Wuppertal location) since 2019. Helena sings with great enthusiasm and plays the oboe, violin, piano, guitar, ukulele and saxophone. Her greatest musical successes to date have been in “Jugend musiziert” at regional, state and national level and in the NRW state youth orchestra in Germany.
Although Helena originally comes from a “classical” musical background, she has also been involved in pop music for many years and writes her own songs. Alongside her studies, she works as a music teacher in the integration centre of a music school. In her holidays she likes to work as a children’s entertainer. This profile makes her a perfect fit for belcanto and the concept of integration and inclusion through art and culture.
She hopes to gain many more exciting musical experiences in the future.
She is working on publishing her own music and inspiring many people with it. Her goal is to be a role model and to convey the positive influence of music to people of all ages, which she herself experiences on a daily basis.
