Helen Swan is a musician and music educator, and has worked as a singer, conductor and chorus master for several groups in ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. For many years Helen was the Director of Music at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Grammar Junior School but in 2002 left to broaden her musical endeavours within the community.

From 2003 to 2008, Helen was director of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Youth Music Choirs and her singing group, The Resonants, perform regularly, with proceeds going to charity.

Their 2004 Christmas Concert raised funds for Galilee Inc, a not-for-profit organisation providing services to disadvantaged ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ children, to help rebuild facilities that were destroyed in the 2003 bushfires. In 2010, the proceeds from The Resonants Christmas Concert were donated to the The HOME in Queanbeyan, a 24-hour accommodation support facility for people with severe mental illness. Other fundraising activities include the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Musicians Tsunami Concert, where proceeds of $7,000 were given to the Australia Red Cross Asia Quake and Tsunami Appeal.
