Personal Description:

Hi I'm Emily, a music tutor based in Glasgow Southside - I travel to your home. I offer music tuition in students' homes in G53 and neighbouring areas, saving you travel time and expense. I teach in Crookston, Paisley, Barrhead, Giffnock and Newton Mearns. I am now also offering woodwind lessons online.
I have the DipABRSM diploma (distinction) in instrumental teaching (flute). I am also very excited to be starting a Masters degree in music (woodwind practical teaching) in August 2024. I am also working towards my LTCL flute performance diploma and ATCL in saxophone.
I teach flute and recorder from complete beginners to the advanced grades. I teach beginners and intermediate saxophone. I teach music theory up to grade 5 and aural up to grade 8. My rates are competitive and include travel to your home.
I have enjoyed playing musical instruments for as long as I can remember and have 35 years playing experience. When I was younger I played in my county youth orchestra and I was leader of my county concert band. I enjoy composition - both writing original music and arranging music for various instruments. I have recently had an original work for flute ensemble published and have also written several pieces for solo piano. I am currently composing a suite for recorder and piano.
