Neil Southgate
I believe in taking an active approach to music lessons. This means the tutee is very much an active participant. The tutee will not only learn in a traditional manner by sitting-down reading notation from a score in a teacher-led activity but will be encouraged to move, play visual and sound games, compose, and explore the sound-world of the instrument in an attempt for the tutee to construct interest and passion for music as well as in their instrument of choice.

Joanna Abel
I’ve been a musician, ever since I picked up an old boxwood clarinet at the tender age of 6 and started playing a tune on it. I played in orchestras and wind bands, and by the time I was 14, I had passed my Grade 8 Associated Board practical exam. When I left school, I discovered the saxophone and fell in love with the sound, so I bought one and began playing in a folk-rock band. From here on, I played in a variety of bands; jazz, funk, comedy, folk and pop – I found I liked the variety.

My teaching style is adaptable to your unique learning style and musical preferences, so whether you're keen on classical music, popular tunes, or exploring various musical styles, you’re in the right place.
What You’ll Need
To ensure a smooth learning experience during our Zoom lessons, you'll need a few essentials. A stable internet connection is key to our online interaction, and using a computer or tablet with a camera will help us communicate effectively.
Having your flute at hand is obviously necessary, but I also recommend having some sheet music or materials ready, especially if you’re preparing for exams with major exam boards like RSL Classical or ABRSM. Throughout our lessons, we’ll cover music theory alongside practical flute playing, enhancing both your technical skills and theoretical knowledge.
Learn The Genres You Love Via Online Lessons
Classical Music
As a flute teacher, I believe that delving into classical music can provide a strong foundation for all flute players. In our weekly lessons, you'll have the opportunity to explore the works of great composers like Mozart and Bach. This genre not only enhances your technique but also allows you to appreciate the rich history of the instrument. I tailor my teaching methods to match your ability level, ensuring that every student, from beginners to advanced students, can enjoy the beauty of classical pieces.
Pop and Contemporary Music
If you're interested in playing music that resonates with today's sound world, we can dive into pop and contemporary songs during our online music lessons. Whether you're a child or an adult, learning to play popular tunes on the flute can be incredibly rewarding. I encourage my students to bring in their favourite songs, and together we'll work on creating a fun and engaging experience. With good communication, I make sure you feel comfortable expressing your musical preferences in our classes.
Jazz and Improvisation
Jazz is an exciting genre that encourages creativity and spontaneity in playing the flute. For those looking to expand their musical repertoire, we can explore improvisation during our lessons. With the right teaching approach, I guide students in understanding jazz theory and techniques that are essential for free expression. This genre is perfect for musicians who want to push their boundaries and develop their own sound.
World Music
The flute is a versatile instrument that features prominently in various cultures around the globe. If you're interested, we can incorporate elements of world music into your lessons, exploring styles such as Indian classical music or traditional folk tunes. This will not only broaden your musicality but also allow you to experience the flute in a diverse context.
Preparing for Exams
If you're preparing for ABRSM exams, RSL Classical or other music qualifications, my flute lessons will focus on both the repertoire required for your exams and the necessary theory.
I make it a point to include practice strategies and exercises that are fun and effective, helping you to advance in your performance experience. Every Flute lesson I teach is catered to the individual and as the majority flute teachers will say, I absolutely love teaching and offer lessons to students of all ages and backgrounds.

Music Lessons Aimed Towards Improving Your Technique
Breathing and Tone Production
A fundamental component of playing the flute is mastering breath control and tone production. In our online flute lessons, I'll teach you how to utilise your breath effectively to produce a beautiful, consistent sound. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced student, learning these techniques will allow you to project your sound and maintain a rich tone across various music styles. During our Zoom sessions, we'll focus on exercises that enhance your breathing, ensuring each lesson has meaningful progress.
Finger Dexterity and Articulation
Efficient finger movement is crucial for playing fast passages and achieving clarity in music. As your flute teacher, I'll guide you through techniques that improve finger dexterity, allowing you to play complex tunes effortlessly. My customised lessons provide a range of finger exercises that you can practice comfortably in your own home. We'll also explore articulation, learning how to differentiate between legato and staccato passages, which will bring expressive depth to your flute playing.
Reading and Interpreting Music
Understanding how to read music is an essential skill for any musician. In our music lessons, I will help you become proficient at sight-reading and interpreting musical notation. From learning the nuances of classical music to interpreting contemporary pieces, these skills will empower you as a player. Throughout the week, I'll provide you with structured practice material, so you can develop confidence in reading and translating sheet music into expressive performance.
Phrasing and Musical Expression
A key to becoming a great flutist is the ability to convey emotion through your instrument. Our online flute lessons will address the art of phrasing and musical expression, teaching you how to shape melodies and imbue them with feeling. We'll explore dynamic changes, tempo variations, and the use of vibrato, ensuring your interpretations are both personal and poignant. As we progress, you'll find yourself more connected to the music and able to express your interpretation confidently.
