Catherine has been incredibly accommodating, offering online lessons when travel time would have otherwise prevented lessons with Catherine, something that I did not want to accept. She was also amazingly understanding during my A-levels ensuring that flute was a reprieve and a time of fun and relaxation while ensuring improvement still occurred. Catherine has taught me since I was eight years old, and even a decade on she brings the same enthusiasm and passion to every lesson. Her unbelievable talent and support through music exams has helped me achieve more than I thought would ever be possible. I could not recommend her more highly.
Catherine has taught our son flute for the past six years and more recently GCSE music theory. She is the most dedicated music teacher you will find - patient, kind and technically brilliant. Our son has excelled under her instruction and absolutely loves his lessons with Catherine. She has also engendered a love for music in him. Bravo Catherine!
Catherine is very welcoming, kind and patient. She has supported our son in Flute lessons and encouraged him to participate at R&R festival and also supported him in performing at school. She is flexible and fair. I would totally recommend.
I started having flute lessons with Catherine 2 years ago. As an adult returning to flute playing after 30y+ I wasn't at all sure how it would go. Catherine has been so patient and kind in helping me remember the things I have forgotten and more importantly showing me the new methods that have come about during my long period away from playing. Catherine has a relaxed chatty and encouraging manner that means I totally relax and can really do my best without worrying. She is an excellent teacher that I would recommend for adults and children alike.
Catherine has a huge amount of energy and professionalism during her flute lessons. Put simply - she is an excellent teacher and I cannot recommend her highly enough. The transition from face to face lessons to online lessons was seamless with the same amount of achievement obtained in both settings. My daughter thinks she is wonderful. I think she is wonderful. And my daughter's improvement in her flute player speaks volumes!
