About Me

I’m a flute teacher who gives lessons in London. I teach students of all ages, ranging in ability from beginners to those studying for their music degrees. I’m available for modern, baroque, and keyed classical flute lessons. I also teach music theory lessons up to ABRSM Grade 5. I’m also available for in person lessons or online flute lessons using Zoom.

I’m currently flute and music theory teacher at Graveney School in London, where I also direct the Flute Ensemble and Early Music Ensemble. My teaching experience includes private tuition, work for schools projects, a post as modern and baroque flute teacher for the University of East Anglia (2007-11), and work coaching and performing in education projects for The Hanover Band and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

I prepare students for ABRSM graded exams, university, A-Level, and GCSE performance exams, concerts, and competitions. I have experience of assisting students in their preparations for school music scholarship auditions, with recent success for students who have passed the required ABRSM Grade 5 with distinction in year 6, and been offered 11+ music scholarships to Haberdashers’ Aske’s School for Girls, Channing School for Girls, Belmont School, Frances Holland School, Queen’s College, Kingsdale School, and North Bridge House School.

In addition I also teach several students, especially adult learners, who just want to learn for their own enjoyment.
