For the last few years, I have been an avid music teacher and tutor. I offer practical and theoretical tuition, both online and in-person, in the following disciplines.
On all woodwind instruments, I am very happy to teach a mixture of classical, folk, and/or jazz technique, flexible to your interests. I can also gladly accommodate teaching different flutes (piccolo, alto & bass flutes, baroque flute, whistles, etc.) and saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor & bari).
I teach a range of ages and abilities, from beginners just starting out, to those revisiting their music, to advanced students looking to hone their craft. I teach young people and adult learners alike.

Testimonials
After 25 years of playing the saxophone, I took up the flute in my late 60's and had some starter lessons with my sax teacher. COVID brought an end to those lessons, but Chris started from scratch with me in 2022 and helped correct my posture, how I held the flute and my breathing. I still find his exercises very helpful and my playing has greatly improved.

I enjoy my lessons with Chris. He is a motivating teacher and his diverse musical knowledge has inspired me to improve my harp playing. He has a good set-up for online teaching and I have enjoyed the face-to-face lessons with him too. I am looking forward to continuing to work with Chris as he prepares me for my Grade 5 Harp examination.
