Flute Lessons For Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Students

From 76.86 C$ /h

This class is for students of any age who wish to learn the transverse flute.

Learning an instrument takes time and commitment, but it's hugely rewarding - and it doesn't have to be boring! I have experience teaching students of all age and levels and I specialise in tailoring my teaching to meet the individual needs of each student.

Beginner flute lessons are suitable for students learning from scratch or those already playing up to about ABRSM Grade 2 level. In beginner flute lessons, you will learn the fundamentals of making a sound and play your first notes, as well as the basics of reading music. As lessons progress, you will learn your first short pieces and maybe even prepare for graded exams.

Intermediate lessons are suitable for students already playing at about ABRSM Grade 3 to Grade 5 levels. In these lessons, you will build on what you already know to expand your abilities on the flute. You will learn more about different musical styles and techniques and develop more confidence to express yourself through music.

Advanced lessons are for students already playing at about ABRSM Grade 6 and beyond. Depending on each student, lessons could involve growing more skills to take the advanced grade or diploma exams exams through to learning the skills to put together a recital programme or prepare for a music college audition. There is wide scope in these lessons to focus on your areas of interest, while still keeping an eye on the solid foundations of good flute technique and musicianship.
Extra information
You will need your own instrument! You will also need to buy any music books and resources, including exam preparation material, that may be needed in the course of your lessons.

About Me
I am a flute teacher with 10 years experience teaching students of all ages and levels.

My students come from a range of different backgrounds and have different aims when it comes to learning the flute. The one thing they have in common is a love of music and a commitment to putting time aside every day - even if it's just 10 minutes - to work on improving their flute playing. Learning an instrument is an investment with great rewards, but it takes regular time and attention to really reap the benefits. In the end though, it all comes down to the music, and I love seeing my students grow in confidence and find the skills to express themselves through music.

I studied at the Royal College of Music in London, during which time I was winner of the Eve Kisch flute prize & was awarded the Allen John Warren prize.

I've since performed with orchestras & ensembles in Europe, Norway, Middle East, Hong Kong & Macau.

As a teacher I have over 15 years' experience teaching students of all ages - from beginner to advanced level - in preparation for ABRSM exams, or just for fun!
