Froom attended the Central School of Speech and Drama before taking up a secretarial post with the Radio Times.

While there she met several composers including Alun Hoddinott, Kenneth Leighton and Graham Treacher, and began writing texts and translations for them.

Froom met Jonathan Hinden, a member of the music staff at Glyndebourne, when he was the accompanist for her singing class and they married in 1968.

In the late 1960s, Froom had attended various music courses with her friend Murray Gordon, and they started running residential weekends.
