​FLUTE TEACHERS ONLINE

FLUTE TEACHERS ONLINE


Welcome to this new initiative to aid the professional development of flute teachers. 

I’ve had over 40 years experience teaching at all levels, including mentoring students on the CT ABRSM development course and writing course material for 2 modules used by Reading University for their development courses. 
With my experience of teaching at the Royal Northern College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music over 35 years, I am able to address all areas of flute tuition.

Most importantly this is a chance to help you think about your own thoughts and the process of teaching and learning.

My role here is to facilitate and support your understanding of all areas of flute teaching, specifically targeted to the individual needs of each teacher.

Sessions are available via Zoom, either individual or group sessions. Each session is 40 minutes, fees £15.
Please message me for more information through the contact page.
