About Laura

I teach music theory in-person and online. I have a 100% pass rate for the Grade 5 ABRSM theory exam for my students. --------------- - What kind of experience do you have? I have taught the flute and music theory 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 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'm Artistic Director and Principal Flute of The Vauxhall Band, with whom I've devised education projects. 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'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 Academy of Ancient Music, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and The Hanover Band, 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.

Laura has been teaching my daughter for about 16 months. During this time Darcy has gone from being practically a beginner to Grade three with amazing exam results.
Laura is warm, friendly and very encouraging, always offering positive feedback. With Laura's help and dedication Darcy has recently been awarded a music scholarship to the secondary school of our choice. I am positive that this would not have been achievable without Laura's hard work and influence.

Mr Bouchek

Laura is an exceptional flute teacher. If you are looking for someone who teaches the baroque flute in a very precise, correct way, I can highly recommend her. I really got my basics right with her and I appreciate that we talk about the historical background, too. I enjoy every lesson. We practice different styles (French, German, etc.). Whenever I need to clarify something or when I am unsure, Laura always helps me and keeps me on the right track.

Laura taught my daughter the flute for a couple of years before she moved to London. She was an excellent teacher, very patient and very positive. Her love for baroque music rubbed off on to my daughter who still enjoys playing this style of music above all others.

Ms Virani

My daughter had flute lessons in school for a couple of years & made little progress. At my insistence her teacher finally signed her up for Grade 2. When I found out what the exam entailed & was only a few weeks away, she was unlikely to pass. A friend recommended Laura, who gave my daughter 3 one-hour lessons. Laura was warm, welcoming, kind, encouraging, clear & focused & my daughter improved tremendously. My daughter not only passed the exam, but received distinction, a real tribute to Laura's teaching
