About Laura

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have taught flute to students of all ages for 20+ years, ranging in ability from beginners to those studying for their music degrees.

I currently hold the post of Flute Teacher at Graveney School in London, where I teach 11-18 year olds. I also teach Music Theory classes there in preparation for the ABRSM Grade 5 theory exam. Previous experience includes Modern and Baroque Flute Teacher for the University of East Anglia (2007-11), and work for Kew Young Musicians.

I also work as a freelance flautist, performing and recording on historical and modern flutes with orchestras and ensembles such as The Hanover Band (I'm Co-Principal), Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Academy of Ancient Music and the London Handel Orchestra I've performed in venues such as the Southbank, Wigmore Hall, Buckingham Palace and abroad.

I'm also Artistic Director and Principal Flute of The Vauxhall Band, with whom I've devised education projects .

I've devised and performed in composition, academic and historic dance education projects for The Vauxhall Band, including masterclasses for the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music, and community projects for schools and the Classical Vauxhall festival. I've also performed in education projects with The Hanover Band and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, including at Chichester University.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

Yes, the school I work for organised this.

I also have a Hays Education certificate in Safeguarding and Child Protection.

- Where and with whom did you train?

I studied modern flute and baroque flute with William Sleath at the University of East Anglia, and baroque and classical flutes with Lisa Beznosiuk and Rachel Brown at the Royal Academy of Music.
