Testimonials - Catherine

  • "Catherine has been incredibly accommodating, offering online lessons when travel time would have otherwise prevented lessons with Catherine, something that I did not want to accept. She was also amazingly understanding during my A-levels ensuring that flute was a reprieve and a time of fun and relaxation while ensuring improvement still occurred. Catherine has taught me since I was eight years old, and even a decade on she brings the same enthusiasm and passion to every lesson. Her unbelievable talent and support through music exams has helped me achieve more than I thought would ever be possible. I could not recommend her more highly."

  • "I started having flute lessons with Catherine 2 years ago. As an adult returning to flute playing after 30y+ I wasn't at all sure how it would go. Catherine has been so patient and kind in helping me remember the things I have forgotten and more importantly showing me the new methods that have come about during my long period away from playing. Catherine has a relaxed chatty and encouraging manner that means I totally relax and can really do my best without worrying. She is an excellent teacher that I would recommend for adults and children alike."

  • "Catherine has taught our son flute for the past six years and more recently GCSE music theory. She is the most dedicated music teacher you will find - patient, kind and technically brilliant. Our son has excelled under her instruction and absolutely loves his lessons with Catherine. She has also engendered a love for music in him. Bravo Catherine!"

  • "I found Catherine straight after lockdown and from the very first moment I felt I had found the right teacher for me. She understood perfectly what I wanted and adapted the flute lessons to my needs. She is an excellent musician and professional with lots of experience that will make you enjoy and improve from day one. She is teaching my daughter (8 yo) as well and her methodology is excellent. My daughter attends every week happily and her progression is incredible in such little time. I can truly recommend Catherine without a doubt."
