About

I am a fully qualified teacher and Musician. I am incredibly passionate about Music both performing and Teaching. I am very fortunate to have had some amazing teachers including Keith Bragg and Alan Bullard.  I perform regularly both as a soloist and an ensemble player and have taught at home and in schools for many years.  I can give private lessons on the Piano, Flute, Recorder, Saxophone and Music Theory which can be done 1:1 or via a remote platform. I am also available for performance at Weddings, parties or corporate events. Please get in touch for more information.

As a total Music enthusiast I am a keen blogger and you can follow me here https://francesflutepage.blogspot.com/. I also run an online Flute forum which has in excess of 3000 members.

If you're looking for a music teacher as enthusiastic as you, then look no further!
