Hello
I’m Kerry and I offer one-to-one flute and music theory lessons in Chelmsford, Essex from my purpose-built garden music room.
I’ve used my 28 years of teaching experience to design a learning space which is warm and inviting for both children and adults. There’s a comprehensive library of sheet music, up-to-date exam preparation materials and resources to support learning in between lessons, so everyone gets the most out of their tuition.

Do I need my own flute?
I have starter instruments for very young players, otherwise I can advise on instrument hire through the local music service/library, private instrument hire and instrument purchase.
Are lessons suitable for beginners?
Yes, I accept players of all levels, including absolute beginners and second instrument players.
Do you teach up to grade 8?
My degree is in classical music, and flute was my first instrument, so I take students up to and beyond Grade 8.
Do you prepare students for exams?
Yes, students are entered for ABRSM exams when they are ready and if they wish to follow this route. It’s not compulsory and never a requirement.
Do you have teaching qualifications?
Yes, I'm a fully qualified teacher having trained as a secondary music specialist. I continue to work as a part-time music teacher in a school for students with special needs alongside teaching individual flute lessons from my music room.
