We are lucky to have two tutors who are highly experienced in all three instruments! From beginners to advanced players they are able to cater to your level. If you are just playing for fun, our teachers are able to guide you through specific songs or styles you like or if you want to learn theory and grades they can do that too!
Both teachers have trained from a high standard at the Birmingham Conservatoire and have a passion for teaching all ages and abilities.

Whether you’re looking to play the flute for the first time, brush up on your skills after a break from making music, or aiming to get a distinction at Grade 8, our experienced and highly qualified music educators will help you on your journey to learning to play the flute.
So, you’re interested in learning to play the flute and are thinking about having lessons. What a beautiful instrument you’ve chosen. Or maybe you already play and are looking to continue flute lessons with a different teacher. Well, I really hope I can help you improve your playing.
Our flute lessons are taught by an international expert who has received music tuition training on flute at Princeton University and is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusets, widely recognised as the number one music university in the world.
Flute classes are offered by Ric Wood. Ric prides himself on his teaching and provides one to one professional music tuition either in your own home or in his home music studio .
The whistle is one of the easiest and cheapest instruments to learn. It is also highly portable and quick to master simple yet satisfying tunes and is a good stepping stone to learning the flute. We currently offer individual (1:1) whistle or flute lessons.
