Personal Message: Hello, dear musical friends, and welcome to the world of music!
Which subject(s) do you teach?: I teach mainly flute and piccolo, although I have no problems teaching the recorder as well. If you are interested in the more theoretical side of music, I can help with aural skills, history of music, harmony, etc.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I graduated from the "Dobrin Petkov" National School of Music and Dance Art, Bulgaria in 2008, where I got my Diploma of Secondary Education, as well as a Certificate of Professional Qualification. I have also got the teacher’s union prize for high musical and educational achievements – “Dobrin Petkov” National School of Music and Dance Art, Plovdiv, Bulgaria, 2008.
In September that year I continued my education in the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (formerly Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama).
What kind of experience do you have?: During my years of musicianship, I have performed both as a soloist and as a member of many orchestras. I have also done the Side-by-side scheme (2010) and the One year apprenticeship scheme (2011) with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
I am member of the Live Music Now! Scotland scheme, where I have the great opportunity to interact with lots of different people and perform for them, together with my pianist Silviya Mihaylova.
How much do you charge?: The first lesson is free - since we all need to meet, chat and see whether the student likes me (and vice versa), I have found that is much better if we do not think about money.
Otherwise, I charge £25 per hour (60 min.) and £15 for half an hour.
I do not mind whether I teach at my home, or at my student's, however if I need to travel quite far and it is expensive I would prefer if it is at my place.
Where do you teach?: I usually prefer to teach at my house, however going to private homes is negotiable if it works best.
When are you available?: Since we live in such a busy world I do try to be quite flexible with everybody, this is why I do not like to put any hours and would prefer just to speak about that over the phone or in an e-mail.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: Everything is good. As I have already said, there is no wrong time to start playing an instrument.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: Currently applying for one.
Do you belong to any professional organisations?: British Flute Society.
Where and with whom did you train?: 2008 - now Katherine Bryan (principal flute with the RSNO)
2000 - 2008 Ivaylo Vasilev
2005 - 2008 prof. Lidiya Oshavkova

I have been to many masterclasses with players such as:
William Bennet, Emmanuel Pahud, Iain Clark, Phillippe Bernold, etc.

How to Start Playing the Flute

To start to play the flute, you first need a flute that is working! You should be able to rely on your instrument. Listen a lot to your teacher's playing, as well as recordings, so that you can hear what you should aim for as a sound quality. Learning to actually produce sound on the flute could be difficult and take some time. Be patient!...
