Elaine teaches my 8 year old son. He started as a beginner with no prior knowledge in flute. It's been only 8 weeks and I can already see him very confident with the way he handles the instrument and his tracks. Elaine guides him in every step , encourages him positively and appreciate for every single effort he attempts. He thoroughly enjoys his lessons with her and I am very glad we found Elaine to learn his flute. I would 100% recommend Elaine to anyone who is willing to learn the flute lessons.

Elaine has been amazing to work with for the past few months! I haven’t played consistently in maybe 7 years and she has very quickly got me back in the routine and getting rid of bad habits I’ve built up. Elaine is very flexible with tailoring the lesson and music to your liking. She is very knowledgeable and fun to work with.

Lainey is a wonderful teacher (and generally just a wonderful person!). I have had 4 lessons with Lainey and I am already playing short melodies with a combination of 3 notes - I have never played an instrument or read music before. Lainey's teaching style is epic, her use of visualisation has supported my understanding immensely. She has pointed me towards useful tools and resources to support my learning and to enable me to learn and develop my skillset. Lainey is kind and supportive and I look forward to my lessons and having a chinwag! I was nervous and a little embarrassed about learning an instrument from scratch as an adult but Lainey is making it such a magical experience and I couldn't be more excited to be on my musical journey with her guidance. If you're considering learning the flute you shouldn't hesitate to contact Lainey. 🪈

Elaine was a great tutor for our 8 year old son who was a complete beginner with the flute. She made the lessons fun and interactive which enabled our son to be comfortable and really enjoy the lessons immediately, something which is quite rare for him!

Elaine is equal parts passionate about the flute and encouraging towards students. I really enjoy our lessons as she lets me speak my part and gives me confidence. She also is good at the psychological side of learning and making mistakes (as you have to make to learn). I can’t recommend Elaine highly enough.

I am thoroughly enjoying my lessons with Elaine. I started playing the flute again after 15 years and it’s been brilliant - that’s all down to Elaine being a great teacher. My technique has improved significantly and that has made my sound so much better (even better than it was when I first played!). I am remembering more and more each lesson, as well as learning new things about technique! Elaine is a kind, compassionate teacher who obviously loves what she does and is highly skilled at it. I would highly recommend Elaine.

Elaine is patient, reliable, firm and empathetic. She is experienced and is able to tailor the lesson to meet the needs/age of the individual.

Elaine is a great teacher - helpful, supportive, encouraging, positive. As well as making me feel comfortable in my lessons she pushes me gently into trying things that are new to me, like improvisation.
