Start your flute journey with me!

Whether you are picking up the flute for the first time or refining advanced technique, welcome! I provide comprehensive, structured flute instruction tailored to help passionate students reach their full musical potential.

I am based in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, offering in-person lessons at my studio as well as online lessons for students across the UK and internationally.

My Teaching Philosophy

Music thrives on consistency and dedication. I specialize in working with committed learners who are eager to practice, grow, and explore their sound.

To ensure steady progress and mastery, I exclusively offer regular, recurring lessons (weekly or bi-weekly schedules). This structured approach builds strong habits, solid technique, and long-term musical confidence.

What I Offer

• Flexible Formats: In-person lessons in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, or high-quality online lessons via Zoom/Skype.
• All Experience Levels: Beginners building solid fundamentals, intermediate players aiming to overcome plateaus, and advanced flutists preparing for auditions or performances.
• Exam Preparation (ABRSM & Trinity): Expert guidance for ABRSM and Trinity College London graded exams (Grades 1–8 and Diplomas). I provide comprehensive prep covering piece performance, scales and sight-reading to ensure high Distinction and Merit rates.
• Tailored Curriculum: Lessons structured around tone production, breath control, posture, technique, and musical interpretation.
• Consistent Progress: Regular performance opportunities, ensemble preparation, and personalized practice plans.
