ON-LINE! Block flutes in C & F,
From 80 C$ /h
We offer block flute lessons for adults and children.
The block flute is not only the traditional entry-level instrument, but a full member of the woodwind instrument family. Composers of the 16th and 17th centuries have written well-known works for the soprano flute. In the late 17th and 18th century. the alto flute was "the" instrument for composers like Bach, Haendel, Vivaldi and many more.
For the "easy" entry into the world of music with little fingers, the soprano flute is ideal, adults can start immediately with the larger alto flute (in F, but don't panic, that's "normal").
For adults who would like to stick to the C-flute, but find the soprano "too small", the tenor offers a wonderful deep and warm tone.
Many alto flute players will sooner or later develop an interest in the bass flute. It has a deep, mysterious, deep sound. Unfortunately, many players then rely on the fact that the bass part is / will be transferred into the treble clef, as they cannot read the bass clef. For these players we offer bass clef reading as a workshop.
We offer another workshop "Celtic playing on the block flute", in which we show, explain and work out the differences between traditional and Celtic playing styles with the student / participant.

About Me
I am a musician by training, have lived and worked on and off in Great Britain for 45 years, and have over 35 years of experience teaching music and languages. I studied piano and conducting, with recorder, ocarina, tin whistle and other keyboard instruments as minor subjects, as well as musicology.
My particular interest lies in "forgotten" composers of the 19th century and the American organ (treadle organ/harmonium).
My teaching method depends on the knowledge level and expectations of my pupils and students.
Currently, my focus is on adults who want to expand their knowledge online. I teach in German and English. I am also happy to take on older children and teenagers from about 12 years old.

Education
Graduated from high school in 1983, studied at the Detmold University of Music in 1985, founded our own publishing house in 1991, taught at schools, colleges and as a private tutor. Regular concert appearances since the late 1970s, as a soloist or accompanist.
Experience / Qualifications
I passed my O-Levels in London in 1979, then graduated from high school in 1983 with advanced courses in German and English, then studied music at the HfM Detmold. Since my school days I have performed regularly, been successful in competitions and have taught. I also sent my own students to competitions and prepared many of them for the entrance exams to various universities. I am married to a British musician (French horn, ocarina, flute, all flutes and composition). After living in London in the 1990s, we moved to Wales in 2008. We live with our two children in one of the most beautiful parts of Wales, the "Valleys". Here we work out our own concert programs, research and publish our own grades and teach. My "hobby" is Irish and Celtic music, with which I also make buske = street music. We are happy about contacts to Germany and think that online teaching has a great future.

Tin Whistle .... the Irish / Celtic instrument par excellence. The instrument with the special tone.
I offer a solid introduction for beginners, reveal "tricks of the trade", and explain the fundamental differences to how to play the flute.
The Irish whistle is certainly not the cheap "fun instrument" that it is often viewed as. Inexpensive yes, but by no means cheap.

We offer online lessons via Zoom for adults and older children (from approx. 12/13 years) for well-known and not so well-known instruments like ocarina (known from "Zelda"), the Irish / Celtic tin whistle, or the clarineau, also often called saxonet or children's clarinet. With the block flutes we offer all instruments from soprano to bass. In the field of keyboard instruments, we offer keyboard / piano and harmonium / pedal organ.
We are musicians by nature and are happy to convey music in addition to our concert activities.
