I am here to help you enjoy flute playing!

For complete beginners, the things I'll teach you the following in chronological order:
- basics of the sounding of the flute, assemble/disassemble the flute
- tone development: posture, embouchure, breathing, articulation
- basic rhythmic training
- fingerings for simple notes e.g. "G", "A", "B"
- other notes ("F", "Bb"; "E", "D", "C")
- understanding the balance
- sightreading simple solo, duet pieces
- more advanced notes
- pitch (sharp/flat)
- tone color
- more advanced pieces
- musical ornaments

Developing your own sound and tone colour is one of the most important things as a musician

About Me
I hold an Integrated MSc Pharmacology (1:1) from KCL and University of Oxford. I am natively proficient in Cantonese and English, also proficient in Mandarin.

I enjoy teaching the piano, the flute, phonics/spoken English in my free time. I enjoy interacting with people from various backgrounds. I enjoy guiding and empowering my students in their pursuits with a positive learning attitude, in so doing boost their confidence.

My teaching will be dependent on the student's needs -- combining structured/systematic teaching and malleability, working to the student's needs, potential and character.

Learn Phonics (IPA) to master your English pronunciation to sound like a native (English/Cantonese)
110.75 C$ /h

Friendly Piano Lessons for Beginners (Cantonese/English)
110.75 C$ /h
The piano is one of the best first instruments to pick up as a newbie in music - gives you a solid base of musical understanding, teaches you how to read notes in both upper and lower clefs, and boosts your confidence when recognising pitches with multiple voicings as we work our way up.

We can do free-form learning or follow a goal-oriented learning programme (climb the ABRSM grades).

We'll break down the work needed to master all the way from scales to exam pieces to aural to sight reading.

I am flexible - let's work to your needs and preferences!

Personal description:
I am a professional classical musician, with a master’s degree in flute playing and years of experience playing solo, chamber music and with orchestras internationally.
I offer Flute and Music Theory lessons to children and adults of all ages, skill levels (grades 1 through 8 and beyond). Also I offer Piano lessons for beginners (grades 1 and 2).

Tutoring experience:
I have worked in the National School of Arts “Prof. L. Pipkoff” Sofia, Bulgaria. My class had children of different ages and mastery of the subject. I prepared them for national exams and concert appearances. I’ve also given privet lessons.

Tutoring approach:
Since every pupil is different, I believe that a good teacher always adjusts his methods to the needs and personality of his student. I strive to provide a structured and clear lesson, while focusing on music as something to be enjoyed. I work with the requirements of the grade system (from grade 1 to grade 8). In the process the child will learn: Instrumental techniques, music literacy, correct breathing and ear training.

The recorder is more than a squealing school instrument, it has a long history, has a beautiful tone and is an excellent gateway instrument if you want to learn other wind instruments. It teaches you finger control, breath control and how to read music without worrying about extra keys, reaching for notes if you have small hands or holding a heavy instrument.

I have a Post Graduate Diploma from the Royal College of Music on the recorder having studied it as my main instrument for six years. I have taught recorder both privately, in group lessons and as a whole class curriculum music instrument.

With my holistic approach, I make learning enjoyable whilst inspiring pupils to try different styles of music from the Blues to Classical. I can teach using the grade system with either examination body or I can teach for the enjoyment of a pupil learning music.

I have a 100% pass rate on exams and have organised school concerts, performances at school fairs and small performances to children's classes or teachers.

Alongside my main instrument, I teach beginner flute and clarinet.

I am able to work with all ages and all levels of ability and experience. Whether you are starting from the beginning or you are a more experienced player looking to sharpen-up your playing, I am more than able to find a way to work with you based on what you wish to accomplish! I am also very happy to work with those who are preparing for exams and auditions to give an extra perspective and to give additional training and advice.

Born in Edinburgh, I graduated from King's College London in 2019 with an undergraduate degree in musicology. I attained my Flute Diploma (ABRSM) with distinction, and am continuing my studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, graduating in 2021. I am the winner of the British Flute Society's Young Artist Prize 2020 and the Guildhall Needlemakers' Prize for Woodwind 2020.

In light of Covid-19 I am very happy to give online lessons.

I am unable to teach from my home therefore I am more than happy to travel in order to teach.

Music trains the brain. Music as a leisure activity has scientifically proven cognitive, emotional, social and neural benefits. Today music is being used in many areas of healthcare. With the training and a year of experience in music therapy, I provide music lessons for children and adults using recent neurological research in the field.

I am an experienced music tutor and value creativity more than anything else. It makes me happy to share my knowledge and skills with others and help them achieve their musical goals. I teach flute and music theory up to advance level and piano up to intermediate level. It's also possible to consider therapeutic lessons for individuals with special needs or dementia.

All of my lessons are tailored to meet the exact needs and preferences of my students, whether that's working towards their next graded exam, playing just for fun, and anything in between.

I hold a first class honours degree in Classical Flute from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where I studied with Ian Clarke and Philippa Davies, and won the Needlemaker's Woodwind Prize. After graduating in 2022, I was invited to become a Guildhall School Junior Fellow, specialising in Flute and Composition.

As a freelance flautist, I have had the privilege of performing at prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Barbican Concert Hall and the Southbank Centre. My performance experience encompasses a diverse range of settings, from live radio broadcasts to collaborations with dance and art installations, reflecting my versatility as a musician, and openness to help my students pursue their own personal journey, both within music and as an individual in general.

In addition to my passion for the flute, I am also an accomplished composer with a portfolio of commissioned works premiering at renowned venues and exhibitions worldwide. Notable highlights include composing for Wessel Flutes, Berlin Fashion Week, Nxt Museum (Amsterdam), and Adidas Y-3. My work as a composer heavily influences my approach to teaching.
