About Alexandra – The Flute Nerd
Alexandra (BM, MMus) is an award-winning flautist who has over 20 years of professional and performance experience. But that's the boring stuff...
Music is fun. And making music on the flute is even better (it really is the best instrument!). Music making is creative, and creativity is a mode of play. That's why you need more than a stuffy music teacher with all the credentials – you need some who brings joy to learning.
My teaching philosophy:
We learn faster when we’re having fun, so I have carefully crafted a studio culture that knows that every student is capable of great things when they enjoy what they’re learning. The more students enjoy their lessons, the more likely they are to engage with the topics and practice in their own time. I tailor my lessons to each individual student, making sure that they get the most out of their lessons and meet their personal goals, while at the same time fostering a sense of play and creativity.
My teaching style is extremely encouraging and supportive and I use lots of games and activities in my lessons. Creative play has countless benefits: it motivates us, tests our creative limits, fosters curiosity, boosts our mood, encourages us to try new things, cultivates our imagination and teaches us to trust ourselves. It’s a bit of a no-brainer, eh?
Sounds great, but what are my credentials?
After completing my BM in Music Performance with highest honours (summa cum laude) at the University of Southern Maine in 2008, I moved to London to complete a MMus degree in Ethnomusicology from the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.
I currently perform as the principal flute in the Camden Philharmonia Orchestra, Quintakulah Woodwind Quintet, and St Bartholomew's Orchestra.
In Maine, I was the principal flute of the Southern Maine Symphony Orchestra and part of the Mimosa Woodwind Quintet. I have studied privately with Roderick Seed, Frederic Sanchez, Joanna Soh, Jean Rosenblum, Doug Worthen and Aubrie Dionne, and has performed in the master classes of Emmanuel Pahud, Jeffery Khaner, Lisa Hennessy, and Emily Gerace-Stanek. In 2009 I was awarded with the Bay Chamber Concerts' Summer Music Woodwind Prize.
I teach a range of ages – from 3 years old to adult learners – and abilities – from early childhood music to Grade 8+. I am member of FlutePlay, as a #littleflute ex...
