My Experience as a Teacher

I'm an experienced teacher and player who has been learning and playing for as long as I can remember, I graduated with a degree in music as well as gaining lots of valuable performing experience which is great for helping my students.

I've always been super insipred by music and I love to share that inspiration with my students. I wil always make a lesson plan that is built around the genres and styles that you enjoy listening to and that you want to work towards.

I have always loved teaching people new skills, whether it’s a magic trick, juggling, a simple piece on the piano or how to play the flute. I had some really good flute teachers when I was younger and I now realise how much those experiences shaped my passions and musical skills. I think it’s so important to encourage students and listen to what they want to learn in order to provide exciting and productive lessons. I have thoroughly enjoyed my past teaching experiences and my Music Education module at university has inspired me to teach more and implement the new tricks and techniques that I have learnt. I will teach any ability and any age and I am flexible in terms of lesson times.

More About My Lessons

I teach at my home in Weybridge where there is enough space for social distancing, a piano and a wide range of flute repertoire. Lessons for beginner and intermediate students last 30 minutes but I am happy to do longer lessons in the lead up to an exam or if a student wants more teaching time. I like to provide variety in my lessons because it helps to maintain the interest of the student and also allows us to explore multiple aspects of music and flute playing. I always aim to make my lessons fun and engaging with the main focus being on what the student wants to learn. We will explore a wide range of repertoire including arrangements of any songs the student enjoys and wants to play.

I will always begin the lesson with a warm up which includes breathing exercises. This encourages the student to develop the skill of being ready to play their instrument whether it’s for a performance, rehearsal or their own practice. Depending on the level of the player, we will then work on a piece of music which we looked at in the previous lesson.

I often use apps when I teach such as notation games and backing tracks, but I will also play my flute for demonstration purposes and accompany using the piano. I am very happy to teach grades and prepare students for exams if they wish but equally, I’m happy for the student to progress using pieces and their own goals instead. I am a strong believer in creating goals so that the student can see their progress and feel a sense of achievement. I encourage daily practice and will require the student to bring a notebook in which we will write goals and practice plans.
