Personal Message: I offer flute lessons for all ages and levels of aspiring flute players.
Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced player, my aim is to give helpful, practical and positive tuition.
I have over 25 years experience as a flute teacher as well as a wealth of high level experience as a performer with many of Britain's most prestigious orchestras and ensembles.
Which subject(s) do you teach?: Flute (including Alto Flute and Piccolo), Piano, Composition and Theory.
Tell me about your qualifications.: A.R.C.M., G.R.S.M., MusM. PhD
What kind of experience do you have?: As a performer, I spent the major part of my career as Assistant Principal Flute in the Hallé Orchestra (1980-2001).

As a chamber musician I have given recitals throughout England and Wales with Free Trade Winds wind quintet and more recently with my Flute, Viola and Harp trio, Trio Fauve.
Throughout my professional career I have maintained a very active interest in flute teaching, firstly with my private teaching practice, tutoring all age ranges from 7 years to adults, a number of my pupils having gained places as undergraduates and postgraduates at major music colleges such as the R.N.C.M., Birmingham Conservatoire and Trinity College. I have also spent periods teaching at schools in the Greater Manchester area as well as at Salford University (1983-1990). Since Sept. 2002, I have tutored part-time at Manchester University in composition and orchestration, taught the flute as well as coaching and directing chamber music groups and composition workshops. I am also a part-time flute tutor for Cheshire Music Education Partnership at Malbank School and Sixth Form College, Nantwich and teach the flute at MMU’s Alsager campus. In addition, I have been involved in coaching Lancashire Schools Symphony Orchestra woodwind section on an occasional basis.
