Get in touch today to find out more about learning to play the Flute.
Lessons can be simply for fun and learning a new skill, or can be focussed on reaching a specific goal. Many of my pupils enter ABRSM exams, local and national competitions and play in local ensembles
I also organise a concert each year in which I encourage all of my pupils to play. I also have a number of flutes available for pupils to hire. Please contact me for further information!
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginners and advanced learners to take my lessons. Lessons will be built around your learning style and level.
Beginners are welcome to take my lessons.
I work for the RNCM and Chethams School of Music, have taught on the course ‘Flute Kitchen’, for Yorkshire Young Musicians (Leeds and Hull), at the RNCM Junior School, and am currently flute teacher at Bangor University. I teach pupils of all abilities from complete beginners to LRSM students. Lessons can be face to face or online using the Zoom platform.
I graduated with a first class degree and performance diploma from the Royal Northern College of Music and Manchester University where she studied the flute as a scholarship student with Richard Davies (BBC Philharmonic), Linda Verrier and Jo Boddington (Hallé).
As a committed and passionate chamber musician, I'm a member of The Sterling Trio (flute, clarinet and piano) with whom I have performed throughout the UK since 2006, including giving recitals in London at St. James’s Piccadilly, St. Martin-in-the-Fields and Queen Elizabeth Hall, for Leeds International Concert Season, the Association of European Conservatoires and for the Concordia Foundation.
I also welcome more advanced players to take my lessons.
I also play in the Da Capo Duo (flute and classical guitar), which, since 2003, has given over 100 concerts for many of Britain’s music clubs and societies including Oundle International Festival and Lake District Summer Music. The Duo was also part of the prestigious Countess of Munster’s Recital Scheme.
Freelance performing work frequently includes performing with orchestras (British Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, the London Mozart Orchestra and Skipton Camerata) as well as music theatre companies (Action Transport Theatre Company, the New Vic Youth Theatre, the Arden Theatre School, Oldham Theatre Workshop and Una Voce Opera) and working with larger organisations including Queer Up North and the BBC Summer Proms. Sarah has also performed at the Houses of Parliament as well as being filmed for the Real Housewives of Cheshire!
My experience allows me to help students learn the correct way and even build up to performing themselves. I can also help students build confidence in themself and their own ability.
I'm a qualified teacher with a load of performing experience and I can really help guide you on the right path when it comes to learning to play the flute. My lessons are built around your goals and what you want to achieve as a learner and player. For more information. Please send me an email at any time.
