Fiona is a friendly teacher who is flexible and aims to meet the needs of every individual pupil. She loves helping each pupil find ways of improving their playing, whatever their standard. Fiona is happy to work through graded exams or to work on other things. She will take her lead from what the pupil would like. Her students have a 100% pass rate in music exams.
She focuses on creating a good foundation of rhythm, reading music and flute technique. Her aim is to empower her students to be able to pick up something they’d like to play and be able to work it out themselves.
With her more advanced pupils, Fiona focuses on tone, flute technique and expression.
Fiona has over 11 years of teaching experience, from primary school age children up to retired adults. Fiona currently teaches with The West of England Music and Arts (WEMA), and teaches at Sea Mills Primary School, Stoke Bishop Primary School and St Ursula’s E-Act Academy. She also offers private lessons on the flute and piano in her house in Sea Mills. Previous teaching engagements also include teaching the flute at Sidcot School.
She has an ABRSM Teaching Diploma and took a module in Advanced Teaching Skills whilst at the Royal Welsh College.
She also has a DBS certificate.
Lessons are usually 30 minutes, but can be longer if you wish.
