I’m delighted we are able to start a series of events in Sussex soon, thanks to the generosity of the Westdene Trust. Even though I live in the area, we haven’t had many events here for local flute players.

We’ll be starting on Wednesday 7 February with a workshop at Portslade Town Hall between 6.30 and 8.30 pm. All young local flute players and their teachers are invited to come along although places must be booked in advance.

A local young professional player, Philippe Barnes will join me for this first workshop to inspire everyone who attends. I’m hoping at future events we’ll have Rachel Smith, Gareth McLearnon, Louise Matthew, Ian Judson and maybe even Jerry Randalls all the way from Scotland and Kirsten Spratt from Sweden! Louise, Ian, Jerry and Kirsten have been involved with Flutewise for many years (Kirsten and Louise have been teaching and playing on our courses almost since we started) and they are incredibly good teachers.

If you live within travelling distance and would like to come get in touch by email or phone.
