I have a passion for music and playing the flute. I love to help my students develop their skills, and enjoyment of such a wonderful instrument. I offer lessons for flute, alto- and bass fute. Flute Tutor, in Stamford Hill, London

I am a flautist of Dutch chamber musician Eleonore Pameijer and since 2020 I have been privileged to study with Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway and the Galway Flute Academy. Since 2009, I have been successful as a professional flute teacher and chamber musician. I also play at weddings and at art exhibitions.

My vision as a teacher is to enable students to realise their own unique approach to performing. Encouraging and supporting my students as they discover their own musical personality while building great technical skills is one of my priorities besides being a grateful witness to each students musical journey.

I have taken Alexander-Technique lessons with Dutch teacher Arie-Jan Hoorweg. I take and utilise this knowledge in order to train and enhance the students skills with their instrument and give them the opportunity to play with more freedom.

My belief is that adapting my teaching style to the student, viewing them as an individual with their unique strengths and character is crucial to enable one to tell msucial stories with joy and freedom. I strongly believe that focusing on progress instead of pointing out weaknesses makes the student learn fastest and most efficiently. To enjoy the journey and patiently observe daily improvements are two of the most crucial basics for every aspiring musician in my teaching. Technique can be trained but to play music one needs to feel inspired.
Sharing my experiences in order to stimulate the students ability to tell stories supports the discovery of ones passions and their own way forward as a musician.

Reach out to me for any questions and I shall look forward to hearing from you and to be part of your musical journey.
