Personal Description:
*Please note travel costs are not included in lesson prices. Lessons are not available in my own home, but in a local community centre. Additional charges will apply, but travel costs are free.* I am an extremely enthusiastic and accomplished recorder player, ATCL, DipABRSM, and am skilled on numerous other instruments including the double bass and pianoforte for which I am also a tutor, with over 10 years' experience. I have had much previous performance experience both nationally and internationally, as a soloist and in an ensemble. I am also in a local recorder orchestra who perform publicly annually. I also have a collection of Medieval instruments, which is a period of musical history I am have a strong passion for. This passion was furthered through two years as a student at TCM (Trinity College of Music) on their Flexible Programme of Study.
All applications are considered, although most of my time is devoted to recorder, piano and bass tuition. I am also available to hire as a recorder player, or for theory, music history or aural classes.
I am based in Suffolk and am willing to travel anywhere provided I can fit it into my schedule. Please note that all travel costs are chargeable. Currently I am unable to offer tuition within my own home. I will do my utmost to fit in with a time that is convenient to you.
Tutoring Experience:
I have had over 10 years' experience working with a variety of different age groups, from 4 and up including adults, beginner to advanced, and at private and state schools all over Suffolk.
I currently have private pupils who have lessons all over Suffolk and teach the piano and recorder at schools in the area. One of these schools is closer to the Ipswich area and as such lessons there may be available with a discount on the travel costs if I can travel to you directly from the school.
Tutoring Approach:
I am an enthusiastic teacher who believes that enjoyment is the most important element to learning any instrument. I have a very approachable style of teaching, encouraging the pupil to look beyond the notes and discover their passion for music. I am willing to work towards exams in a more structured approach if this is desired, and I have many years of experience with the ABRSM examination board and can offer a large amount of expertise in getting pupils ready for their music exams. Lessons are of course available on a more casual basis for those just looking to enjoy a new hobby.

As to the first lesson arrangement, we had settled on a weekly Thursday slot, but had not finalised an exact start date. I only found out from your subsequent email that you would like to start this week, which unfotunately was just not possible for me. I have apologised for the misunderstanding, but I have done as we agreed, and again I would hope that if a specific start date is really important to you that you would arrange that before accepting and paying the finder's fee.
We arranged the lesson for Thursday at 3:15 but after paying for Alice's details I was then told she meant the following Thursday, so make sure you check the date as opposed to the day when arranging lessons with her :)
