Flute, Traverso (Baroque transverse flute) lessons

From 48.23 £ /h

Hello everybody,

I am Reiko. I teach flute and baroque transverse flute.
The flute is a well-known, popular instrument, but what is a baroque transverse flute!?
It is a wooden flute that was played in the 17th and the 18th centuries (roughly) in Europe, so if you are curious how the pieces of J. S. Bach or G. F. Handel sounded at the time they were composed, you can take lessons with baroque transverse flute!
Ever since I first encountered the flute, in my elementary school in Japan, it has been the biggest passion of my life. I studied modern flute and other historical flutes in Toho Gakuen School of Music in Tokyo, Japan, then there followed a Master’s degree in Early Music from the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.
Playing the flute is fun and discovering beautiful music through the flute is a wonderful experience. I would like to guide you to find the best way for you.
I work with young people and older adults, beginners, and experienced musicians.
-Experiment and Explore-
In my lessons, I teach/explain the basics, then students begin experimenting, with my help. How to hold a flute, breathe, practice – to discover what is comfortable and works well for each person. How to use the body and how to approach the music.
And we will explore the Why together. Are you telling a story with the piece? What are you expressing with a flute? Can you learn something about yourself with this practice?
I will help you while you learn. I am your guide and your coach, and I go with you towards your goal.
Do you think you don’t have time to learn to play the flute?
Don’t be afraid to try it first; you can always start. You can always stop.
You think you don’t have time to practice, but there are moments every day – just 20 minutes is enough – to improve on your own over time, and I will show you how. Enjoy the flute bit by bit.

Bonus: We can play together, in person, or even via zoom. I call it “zoom karaoke.” Playing together gives your learning a boost.

Extra information

If you still do not own the instrument, it is possible to rent it from music shops.
Usually Traverso (Baroque transverse flute) is made of wood but it is also available in resin which is easier to maintain.

I'm offering flute and recorder lessons for children (from the age 4 years) and adults with ten years experience.

During the lessons you will learn the proper technique to make these instruments sound nice, and also the skill to read sheet music.

My lesson is for anyone that's interested to play the flute at any level, from the very beginners to students interested in classic, jazz and even variety of genres
I can give the practical knowledge of the flute and freedom with music inside. My way of teaching is mentoring for my students how they can learn to play flute. I believe that play should be joyful.
I have 15 years of experience with individual or group lessons.

Do you like music? Are you thinking about playing the flute? Or are you already a flute player and you wish to become advanced? Do you need someone to help you to prepare for music exams? I am offering lessons in playing the traverse modern flute as well as historical flutes and music theory at any level, from the beginner to the professional.
This course, based on more than 10 years of experience in teaching, offers private lessons where everyone can find their unique contact with their instrument, deepen their relationship with music and develop a unique way of expressing themselves through music making.
I teach from international method books and adjust my methods to the individual needs of each student. Taking two courses of the Alexander technique also helped me to develop an understanding of the essential connection between the body and our minds. This awareness can be very helpful not only for our musical performances, but also for our everyday lives. I believe that my already 10 years of teaching practice has shaped my teaching into a stage where everyone can learn what they need.
I am looking forward to meeting you in my course!

Hi, my name is Galit and I am a professional recorder player.
I have been performing in various ensembles and venues around Europe and Israel, playing baroque, medieval, renaissance and contemporary music which is the vast repertoire of the recorder. I graduated from the Amsterdam Conservatory and the Royal Conservatory of the Hague. I have been teaching in various platforms for over 20 years and I adapt the lessons to your needs, wishes and level.

During our lessons I will teach you the skill set of mastering the recorder. Obtaining good technique, working on good posture and healthy breathing along side learning about the instrument and it's history.
Learning to play the recorder is an opportunity to expend your horizons, be creative and learn the art of listening.

I offer individual and/or group* lessons for kids and adults.
*The costs per person for group lessons will be lower.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

I am a Portuguese 22 year-old student doing a bachelor degree in classical flute, in the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I want to start to give lessons in order to upgrade my teaching experience.

I will teach basics (how to produce sound, how to play scales and simple melodies)but I also want to teach student in their secondary education how to develop their musicality and technique.

It doesn’t matter your age or level — beginners, advanced students, and adults are all welcome. I love helping students discover the joy of playing music. My lessons are adapted to each student’s goals, level, and musical interests, combining structure with flexibility. I aim to create a positive and supportive learning environment based on patience, curiosity, and motivation.
