Dr. Helen Kemp

HELEN KEMP has been training singers, teachers and conductors in the art of choral singing for more than six decades. Her early singing career and her love of song formed the focus for her future as teacher and mentor to countless choristers. Known internationally as a specialist in the area of training young voices, she has served as guest conductor and clinician in all 50 states as well as in countries around the world in both university and church settings. A hallmark of her work is her ability to empower dedicated volunteers to be successful choir directors, as well as to present techniques so solid and engaging that highly-trained professionals continue to learn from her. With her late husband, Dr. John Kemp, Helen served two tenures in the Voice and Church Music Departments of Westminster Choir College where she now holds the title of Professor Emerita.
