Personal Description:

*ONLINE LESSONS AVAILABLE*
Based in Leeds, I graduated from Leeds College of Music with a First Class Honours Degree. During my time at the conservatoire I was awarded the acclaimed Wolfson Grant and The Rotary Club of Leeds Cooke-Webster Prize for my academic achievement.

I have recently been involved in a small chamber orchestra for a tv series featuring Stephen Fry, where we performed live on set. I have also played on a Dolce & Gabbana advert, which featured Liza Minnelli.

Tutoring Experience:

I have experience in individual, small group and ensemble tuition. I like to offer a pleasant and flexible approach to learning, with my lessons ranging from beginner- advanced level. I also hold an enhanced DBS.

I have been playing the flute for 15 years. Within these 15 years I have been on 5 European tours visiting places such as Paris, Italy, Germany, Prague and many more with various bands. Through auditioning, I successfully gained a place with Staffordshire Youth Wind Orchestra as Flute 1 which I held for 4 years. This led to other projects such as pit work for a show called A Chorus Line where I doubled on saxophone as well as flute. Whilst studying at Leeds College of Music I obtained a chair in the Wind Ensemble and performed in various Classical Showcases at Wakefield cathedral and Trinity Church. Together with this, I have also taken part in many masterclasses with Katherine Bryan, Fiona Fulton, Anna Noakes and Kevin Gowland.

Tutoring Approach:

When teaching, I make sure I engage with the students’ needs early on. This way I can find out the student’s intentions for the instrument and lead them in the right direction, whether this being for fun or to go onto exams. I am a polite and friendly person and use a variety of practical, theoretical and creative teaching styles to keep lessons diverse and exciting.
