Rhiannon

I am a friendly music teacher with a Postgraduate Diploma in Music Performance, a BMus (Hons) from Cardiff University (with a first (92%) in Performance) and an ABRSM Performance Diploma on the flute. I was Principal Flautist of Cardiff University Symphony Orchestra and have over 20 years` playing experience during which I have competed in many national competitions both as a soloist and as a member of numerous orchestras and ensembles.

Availability: Flexible

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I was Principal Flautist of Cardiff and Vale Youth Wind Band, which have performed at Carnegie Hall, New York and were 1st place, Platinum Award Winners of the National Concert Band Festival - Great Britain. I have been First Saxophone in a jazz band which won best Youth Ensemble in Wales at the National Eisteddfod. I have recorded many orchestral CD’s, including the world premiere of Claude Debussy’s two newly found works.

I have experience of teaching in both a one-on-one setting and a group setting. I have also coached numerous ensembles throughout my time at university and have taught and lead The Carducci Quartet (a professional string quartet) as part of a Postgraduate Music Leadership module.

My top priority is to make sure that everyone is comfortable and happy and develops at their own pace, whether they are looking to progress up the grades quickly, to take their time, or to learn simply for fun. I tailor each lesson to the individual depending on their goals/needs.

Beginners welcome. I am also happy to conduct the lessons through the medium of Welsh.
