Class Experience

In this lesson, learners will be introduced to the classical flute. We’ll learn some of the history of the instrument and how it is played. Then we’ll learn some fun facts and listen to some famous flute music. You might recognise some of it! I have always loved how ethereal (a bit magical and light, like a fairy!) the flute can sound and will enjoy sharing it with other learners!

Session structure:
• welcome by the teacher
• A short history of the classical flute
• How do you play a flute? Live demonstration
• flute fun facts and a quiz!
• listening to famous flute music
• a chance to ask questions!

This class is ideal for those who are interested in learning more about the flute, especially if they are thinking of taking it up. Learners can see and hear a flute, ask questions, and have a ‘virtual’ experience.

No previous flute experience or knowledge is required for this class. Learners do not need to have a flute to participate in this class. I also have a beginner flute class, for those who wish to learn how to play their flute - https://outschool.com/classes/flute-fun-beginner-lessons-for-aspiring-flautists-3wdXyvZB?usid=fBJyPAVs&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link

I have been playing the flute since I was 7 years old! I have achieved Grade 8 ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) standard in the UK. I have half a Masters degree in Music Education that formed part of my teacher training certificate. Over the years, I have played my flute in various orchestras and bands, including an all-flute ensemble, in London, UK.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello!

I'm Suzi, a British teacher living in Oxford, UK. I have a teaching qualification (PGCE) from the Institute of Education, University of London with a specialism in Music, plus a BA (Hons) degree in Film Studies and Dance Studies, and an MA in Religious Education. I have been a class teacher for 11 years, teaching all ages from 4-11 years old, and teaching everything, from phonics to science, to art, to maths! Previously, I have been the Lead Teacher for English across all primary year groups and I am currently a Teacher of the Deaf. 

I enjoy planning fun and engaging lessons, using my many interests and hobbies as well as my academic areas of study. I play various instruments to a high standard (including the flute and piano), love crafting (especially lace making, knitting and sewing) and I love history and reading too. Oh, and I'm a big Harry Potter fan!

I am committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment in all my classes.

As I am in the UK, please be aware that I may not be able to reply to messages quickly due to time differences.
