General Format of the Classes:

• General Format of the Classes:

  • Classes are 1 hour long

  • Classes are interactive, with teaching of new material & discussion during class. Classes are currently run on Zoom. Students require just laptop/device with camera with access to Zoom.

  • Each week, I work on new material in classes, with a focus on quality flute repertoire. 

  • I teach tunes by ear during the live class on Zoom, with particular focus on tone, breathing, ornamentation & finger work.

  • A video replay of the lesson will be provided following each lesson for you to recap, allowing you to catch up also if you miss any live lessons. The replay will be available for 6 months

  • The recording allows all players to work at their own pace following the live workshop and means if a player misses the live teaching of the tune, they can learn the new material covered at their own pace.
