Personal Description:

I studied at the Royal Northern College of Music and play the flute professionally combining orchestral, chamber music and freelance work with teaching privately in my studio in Twickenham. In 2013 I obtained a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in performance.

Tutoring Experience:

Beginners to post conservatoire and professional, all ages from 8 to 80! I have over 15 years teaching experience in schools and privately, also Trinity Junior College of Music.
I encourage pupils to work towards exams with either Trinity or ABRSM, and also teach people who don't want to take exams and play for the sheer love of making music.
I offer lessons online which are working extremely well and will continue to do a mix of online and in person lessons from my lovely music room in my house - whichever is easiest for the student.

Tutoring Approach:

I really enjoy teaching and coaching. I like to encompass all aspects of technique into the learning process, incorporating tone work, scales and technical exercises, studies, pieces and duets to make learning an enjoyable and fun experience. I also cover Music Theory for pupils wishing to obtain Grade 5 Theory.

In addition to in person lessons in my house, I also offer online flute lessons and theory via Skype, Zoom or Facetime. This is a very effective way of learning and some students like a mixture if they can’t get to me each week.

I offer a 50% discount on the first 1hr lesson which means you will save half the fee by getting my details released to you!

From John (5/5): Rachel's skill and experience shows: she readily understood my aims for my flute playing and put together an appropriate programme of study to achieve those aims. Clear, professional, confidence inspiring.

Reply from: Rachel: Thank you John, enjoyed teaching you, Rachel

From Elizabeth (5/5): Rachel is a really positive and encouraging teacher. We are very lucky to have found her. Thanks!

Reply from: Rachel: Thank you and it is a pleasure to teach your daughter Emily.

From Peter (5/5): It is a privilege to be taught by Rachel: an experienced professional who creates a calm atmosphere and makes it okay to make mistakes. My technique and sight reading has improved in three lessons and after I complete my agreed 5 weeks cycle; I hope to be able to book more in the new year.

From Geoff (5/5): I've been playing flute for over forty years, and wouldn't have thought much improvement was possible. Not so; Rachel has enabled me to reach a level of performance that I didn't expect, and with great attention to detail has also helped me with all the fundamental elements of my technique: tone, articulation, breathing, phrasing. Lessons are always enjoyable.
