Flute lessons in London with expert tutors

Piano, Saxophone, Clarinet, and Flute lessons tailored to you. I believe the responsibility for progress and motivation lies on my shoulders—your only job is to show up. What to expect from our lessons In my studio, the traditional pressure of "learning an instrument" is flipped. I don't use one-size-fits-all books because difference is the norm. Whether you are a busy professional or a young beginner, I adapt my entire methodology to how you authentically exist right now. I identify your natural neurological motivators so that the drive to play wells up from the inside, rather than relying on forced willpower. Your first lesson We don't wait months to "sound good." In our first 30-minute session, we will bypass dry theory and get you playing a song you actually enjoy. My goal is to create an environment of total safety and alignment where we can find your "flow" immediately. We will discuss your musical tastes, how you process information, and set a roadmap that makes "impossible" hurdles feel like tangible wins. My approach for different stages Children: We focus on the Joy of Discovery using visual imagery to ensure music provides an intrinsic sense of joy. Teens: I act as a mentor, using music as a tool for self-expression and building a strong sense of identity and mastery. Adults: We focus on behavioral relevance—connecting your instrument to the music you actually listen to—providing a sophisticated creative outlet to counterbalance daily stress. Experience and Background I am an established professional musician and educator with a focus on high-level performance and student-centered results. My own performance career includes prestigious sets for the Lord Mayor of London and the Movember Campaign Launch. This professional background allows me to teach not just notes, but the artistry and confidence required to master an instrument. Within six months, my students regularly make leaps in areas they previously thought were closed to them. Ready to begin? You don’t need to be "ready" or have "potential" to start. You don’t even need to worry about the logistics of how you will learn—that is what I am here for. Send me a message today, and let’s find the song you’ll be playing in your first 30 minutes!

Hi, I am a woodwind teacher based in North London. I can offer lessons either at my house (in Tufnell Park), at my students premises, or online. I began my musical journey 16 years ago, and have since gained my grade 8 in flute and saxophone, and a diploma in oboe. Graduating in 2022, I completed a bachelor of arts music degree with first class honours from Oxford Brookes University. As part of my degree I specialised in performance on my oboe, as well as theory and analysis. I began teaching in 2020 alongside completing my degree. Since then I have had many students, beginner and intermediate level, all of whom have achieved high marks on both ABRSM and Trinity College London board music exams. I firmly believe that every student learns differently, therefore I am devoted to tailoring my lessons to my students. I enjoy lighthearted and easy-going lessons, where my students can get the best out of the time in a supportive and relaxed environment. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding lessons. Hope to see you soon Lucy

Hello! I’m Maria, a passionate flutist and dedicated teacher, eager to share the joy and freedom of music with my students. I hold an Artist Diploma from Royal College of Music, and my experience as a professional musician brings a wealth of knowledge to every lesson. I currently hold a position of Principal Second Flute with Academy of Ancient Music and regularly work as a guest flute player with prestigious ensembles, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. I teach both baroque and modern flute, blending technical precision with expressive artistry. My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, whether you’re just starting out, preparing for exams, or performing on stage. I focus on building strong fundamentals: breath control, finger technique, and tone, while keeping lessons engaging, interactive, and fun. As a performer, I’ve explored a wide repertoire, from baroque masterpieces to contemporary compositions. I bring this experience into teaching, offering practical tips on phrasing, musicality, and stage presence that help students play with confidence and expression. One of my greatest joys is inspiring students to fall in love with music. Every lesson is designed to challenge, motivate, and celebrate progress, helping each student discover their own unique sound. I welcome students of (almost) all ages and abilities and create a supportive, encouraging environment where learning is exciting and rewarding. Let’s make music together!

I have been teaching singing and music for 5 years. I am a professional musician and musical theatre performer and have been performing professionally since the age of 8.

Hi there folks. So glad you have dropped by to say Hello. Below you will find a little information about me and my teaching studio. I look forward to hearing from you. First of all I teach people individually and teach differently for different people – as every student is an individual and has their own learning style. I teach in a studio in Thames Ditton, U.K. I have been teaching since I was in my teens (so a long time). It started in High School where I would help other students with their music during lunch hours. I have been teaching privately for 30 years (in Canada and the U.K. – moved to the U.K. in 2007); as well as for various school boards. I love to teach and love my students. Music is to enrich our lives. It is always my great pleasure to encourage people and help them to achieve and enjoy their musical goals. I charge £20.00 for a 30 minute lesson which is payable on the day of the lesson. At this moment I teach Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Having said this I sometimes also teach on other days. So let me know what works for you. I have a positive and relaxed approach to life and teaching but one thing I must really insist on is this. If you can’t come to a lesson please please let me know the day before; otherwise, I will need to charge you for the lesson. Just FYI. I don’t teach by the term. I teach all year around including summers and we try to have in July of each year a Music Sharing Event where we all play music for each other. Having said this – Students can take time out whenever they want as long as I know a few weeks ahead of time. I began writing music at the age of 6 and continue to this day. My first song was called The Camping Song. I wrote it on a huge poster-sized piece of cardboard and painted a picture of people camping right next to the music. It was in the key of C and was based on the C major triad. It’s funny how you remember things like that. I am a life long musician born in 1956 (Vancouver, Canada) who has worked full time as a musician since @1980. My work life has covered very specific areas of music which include performing and recording (mostly classical flute and piano), teaching, accompanying ballet classes playing music for church services, including organising concerts and writing music for and playing in ballet productions. Around 1995 I started organising a lot of the music I had been writing and in 1997 did a complete concert with the string quartet, singers and piano exclusively of my original compositions. This program was well received and so I kept writing. Around 2006- 2007 when I moved from Canada to the UK I started putting books of the music I was writing together. I think at this point there is about 82 of them selling on Amazon. I advertise on Amazon most of the time and sell between 1-5 books a week; sometimes many more. It is seldom that I go for a week without selling one or two books. Most of my original writing, as well as arrangements, are around a grade 8 or diploma level of technical difficulty; and I have been blessed to have had some music recorded. For the past number of years, I am happy to say that I receive small but steady and ongoing royalty payments. What has surprised me is that normally these royalties come from performances given by musicians who I don’t even know. This is truly lovely and I am very grateful. I am also thrilled to get ongoing commissions/requests from people who want a piece of music for a particular event. I am always happy to help them in this way. The first two concerts of my compositions were given in 1997 and 1998 in Vancouver, Canada. Since then my music has been performed and recorded in Canada, the USA, UK, Western Europe, Bulgaria, Australia, Asia (including Vietnam and Japan), and Brazil. My music has also been featured on a number of radio stations and also been performed at The 15th London New Wind Festival; Sonic Boom (Vancouver Pro Musica); Women Composers Festival of Hartford, USA; Diamond Jubilee Concert (in honour of Queen Elizabeth’s 50-year reign – London); and Music Fest Aberystwyth, Wales. In addition, my music is included in the Contemporary Showcase Syllabus of the Alliance for Canadian New Music Projects (ACNMP) and the Compendium Musicae Flauta (the first international catalogue of flute music by women composers). I have written and/or arranged well over 600 pieces of music for various instruments and ensembles ranging in style from simple folk melodies to the avant-garde. These works include chamber and orchestral music, a chamber opera, string quartets, solo music for piano, flute, singers as well as hymn tunes. I have published (El Flauto Records) a large number of sheet music books and CDs, all containing original compositions and/or arrangements. Recognition: I have been simply recognised by the people who play my music and those who ask me to write music for them. References:References and lots of other information available upon request.
