About Laura
I specialise in the performance of 17th, 18th & 19th-century works on historical flutes. I'm CEO / Artistic Director and Principal Flute of The Vauxhall Band and Co-Principal Flute with The Hanover Band, for whom I have also curated concert programmes, such as the ‘Schubert in the City 2022-23’ series and held the post of Head of Artistic Planning. I have performed and recorded with many other leading ensembles such as the London Handel Orchestra, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the Academy of Ancient Music in venues such as Buckingham Palace, the Southbank, Wigmore Hall and overseas.
Keen to share my experiences, I have devised and performed in composition, academic and historic dance education projects for The Vauxhall Band, including masterclasses for the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music, and community projects for schools and the Classical Vauxhall festival. I have also worked on orchestral education projects with and The Hanover Band and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, including side-by-side projects on Beethoven’s symphonies with the music students at the University of Chichester.
I currently teach the flute and music theory at Graveney School in London, and have many private students of modern and historical flutes. Previous teaching experience includes a post as modern and baroque flute teacher for the University of East Anglia from 2007-11.
I received a MA in Historical Performance from the Royal Academy of Music, where I studied baroque and classical flutes with Lisa Beznosiuk and Rachel Brown, supported by the Winifred Disney Award. I won the prestigious Early Music Prize and graduated with Distinction.
In addition, I read music at the University of East Anglia, receiving a BA (Hons) and a MMus in Flute Performance Studies (modern). I was awarded four major bursaries for performance studies from the School of Music (Hilda Houssart, Britten-Pears, Imogen Holst and Frank Thistlethwaite Scholarships) which enabled me to receive modern and baroque flute lessons from William Sleath.

I’m a flute teacher who gives lessons in London. I teach students of all ages, ranging in ability from beginners to those studying for their music degrees. I’m available for modern, baroque, and keyed classical flute lessons. I also teach music theory lessons up to ABRSM Grade 5. I’m available for in-person or online flute lessons.
My teaching experience includes 20+ years of private tuition, work for schools projects, a post as modern and baroque flute teacher for the University of East Anglia (2007-11), and work coaching and performing in education projects for The Vauxhall Band, the Academy of Ancient Music, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and The Hanover Band including at the Royal College of Music, the Royal Academy of Music and at the University of Chichester. I’m currently Flute and Music Theory teacher at Graveney School in London, where I also direct the Flute Ensemble and Early Music Ensemble.
I prepare students for ABRSM graded exams, university, A-Level, and GCSE performance exams, concerts, and competitions. I have experience of assisting students in their preparations for school music scholarship auditions, with recent success for students who have passed the required ABRSM Grade 5 with distinction in year 6, and been offered 11+ music scholarships to Haberdashers’ Aske’s School for Girls, Channing School for Girls, Belmont School, Frances Holland School, Queen’s College, Kingsdale School, and North Bridge House School.
In addition I also teach several students, especially adult learners, who just want to learn for their own enjoyment.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
My daughter had flute lessons in school for a couple of years & made little progress. At my insistence her teacher finally signed her up for Grade 2. When I found out what the exam entailed & was only a few weeks away, she was unlikely to pass. A friend recommended Laura, who gave my daughter 3 one-hour lessons. Laura was warm, welcoming, kind, encouraging, clear & focused & my daughter improved tremendously. My daughter not only passed the exam, but received distinction, a real tribute to Laura's teaching
It's such fun learning the flute with Laura, she's always very encouraging and both my technique and tone improved dramatically over the time she was teaching me.
Laura taught my daughter the flute for a couple of years before she moved to London. She was an excellent teacher, very patient and very positive. Her love for baroque music rubbed off on to my daughter who still enjoys playing this style of music above all others.
Laura has been giving my daughter Bianca flute lessons for around 2 years and during this time she always looks forward to her lessons. Laura is very patient and always gives her positive feedback and encouragement. Bianca has learnt to play the flute to grade 2 standard thanks to Laura. Laura is still teaching my daughter and she is very happy.
Laura is a fantastic teacher. Attentive, patient, and skilled in her craft; making learning the flute a really enjoyable experience. I highly recommend her.
Laura is an exceptional flute teacher. If you are looking for someone who teaches the baroque flute in a very precise, correct way, I can highly recommend her. I really got my basics right with her and I appreciate that we talk about the historical background, too. I enjoy every lesson. We practice different styles (French, German, etc.). Whenever I need to clarify something or when I am unsure, Laura always helps me and keeps me on the right track.
An experienced player of the modern flute I have recently started learning the baroque flute under Laura's expert guidance. My lessons are very rewarding and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Laura has been teaching my daughter for about 16 months. During this time Darcy has gone from being practically a beginner to Grade three with amazing exam results.
Laura is warm, friendly and very encouraging, always offering positive feedback. With Laura's help and dedication Darcy has recently been awarded a music scholarship to the secondary school of our choice. I am positive that this would not have been achievable without Laura's hard work and influence.View more recommendations
