About Carina

Carina is a London-based freelance flautist and teacher who graduated with Distinction from the Master of Music in Performance programme at the Royal College of Music where she was also awarded the RCM Flute Prize. Her studies were supported by Help Musicians UK, the Kathleen Trust and the Black Heart Foundation.

Previously, Carina completed her Bachelor of Music with First Class Honours at the Royal Northern College of Music, where she received the Fewkes Prize and the June Emerson Launchpad Award. Throughout her training, she took part in numerous masterclasses, orchestral projects and professional development programmes, working with principal players and leading musicians from major orchestras across the UK and Europe.

Her performing experience spans solo, chamber and orchestral playing. She has performed alongside musicians from ensembles including Manchester Camerata, the Hallé and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, participated in the BBC Philharmonic’s professional experience scheme, and recorded at Abbey Road Studios. As a soloist, she has performed with a philharmonic orchestra in Romania and was awarded the Ion Vidu Prize following successes in competitions in Romania, Hungary and Serbia. She was also a finalist in the RNCM Concerto Competition in both 2020 and 2021.

Carina first attended the British Isles Music Festival as a scholarship student in 2019 and has since remained closely involved with organising the festival.

As a teacher, Carina believes that music should first and foremost be something that brings enjoyment, curiosity and a sense of expression. Her lessons are therefore shaped around each student as an individual, whether they are working towards exams and diplomas, developing their technique and sound, preparing repertoire for performances and auditions, or simply wanting to enjoy playing the flute with greater confidence.

Alongside classical training, Carina is also happy to explore different styles of music with her students, including developing an understanding of improvisation, musical freedom and how the flute can fit naturally into different genres and ensemble settings. Her aim is to give students a strong technical foundation while helping them become versatile, expressive and independent musicians.

About the lesson

Throughout my musical training, I’ve been fortunate to learn from many inspiring musicians, and I would be very happy to pass that knowledge on to my students.

Regardless of age or level, I aim to teach music theory as something connected to real music rather than as a set of isolated rules. Where appropriate, we can look at the historical background, style and performance practice of pieces in order to better understand their harmony, structure and musical language.

Lessons can progress from the fundamentals, including notation, note values, rhythm, intervals, accidentals, basic solfège and dictation, towards the circle of fifths, scales and modes, chords, key relationships, musical forms, harmonic analysis, four part writing and counterpoint.

Aural development is also an important part of the lessons. Solfège and dictation exercises can become progressively more advanced, helping students develop a stronger inner ear and a more instinctive understanding of pitch, rhythm and harmony.

At the end of each lesson, I can provide short exercises or homework together with clear goals for the following session, helping students build their knowledge progressively and make the most of their independent study.

Music theory can be taught using English and American letter notation, German notation where required, or solfège using Do, Re, Mi and movable Do. Lessons are available in both English and Romanian.

I am also always open to learning from my students. I see teaching as a collaborative process, shaped around each person’s interests, goals and way of understanding music.
