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
