The beautiful, twittering bird of the orchestra, the flute is the oldest instrument known to human-kind, and has truly stood the test of time! With such an exquisite sound, it's no wonder so many wonderful melodies have been written for this instrument, from Morning at Peer Gynt, to Nutcracker dances, to Princess Leia's theme and everything in between.

My daughter’s flute playing was remarkably improved from the very first lesson with Issie. The thoughtful, creative and engaging approaches Issie took during the course of the lessons ensured improvement and enjoyment week after week. Issie built a delightful rapport with my shy 9 year old and I would absolutely recommend Issie for anyone wanting to start, develop or improve their playing.”
Issie was fantastic with our two girls. She understood and was sensitive to each of their unique personalities and learning styles, and adapted lessons well. Issie provided comprehensive lesson notes and practice guides which we found really helpful. Both girls made amazing progress and enjoyed their lessons. We felt very lucky to have found Issie.
