Catherine Whitehouse Bsc(Hons) CT Dip. Mus MBA MISM.
DBS Checked & Insured
I have a wealth of experience teaching the flute, recorder and music theory to UK and overseas students. Lessons are taught in my music studio, online, in school or via a blended approach. My principal aim is that students become all-round musicians with a life-long love of music. Students of a wide range of ages & abilities take up my lessons and each has a personal learning plan to match their abilities, desires and interests. I am DBS Checked & Insured, a Registered teacher with BDA and an Ambassador for The Incorporated Society of Musicians. I conduct lessons at my home in Redhill, Surrey.
Friendly & supportive flute & music theory lessons designed to meet the individual needs of the student
I offer lessons for flute, music theory and beginner recorder, to students of all ages and abilities, from my music studio in Surrey and in schools across Reigate and Redhill.
Beginners, adults, and children are all very welcome at The Flute Tutor.
Lessons are tailored to your individual needs, whether playing for pleasure, preparing for exams and music scholarships, returning to the flute, or completing your DofE award.
My teaching style is very friendly and supportive, and lessons are held in a relaxed environment at my home in Redhill, Surrey.
Lessons can be taken face-to-face, online as well as a blended approach to suit your individual circumstances.
Examination boards students can be entered for are ABRSM, Trinity Guildhall & MTB Exams.
Currently all flute and recorder lessons can be taken face-to-face or online (via Skype or FaceTime) or with a blend of both styles of lesson. The advantage of online lessons are:
Beginners, adults, and children are very welcome at my music theory lessons.

Recorder Lessons for Young Children Recorder lessons are offered to young children as an introduction to music and an entry level to future flute lessons.
Lessons are tailored to your child and are available after school and during the school holidays. My teaching style is very friendly and supportive, and lessons are held in a relaxed environment at my home in Redhill, Surrey.
School recorder groups
If you are looking for lunch time music activities for your school, I can offer recorder clubs
to primary and prep schools in the Reigate, Redhill, and surrounding areas. I have experience in Surrey schools and references can be supplied.
School recorder classes Recorder lessons offer easy access to music for all KS1 and KS2 pupils and this is something I can offer to primary and prep schools in the Reigate, Redhill, and surrounding areas. I have experience in Surrey schools and references can be supplied.
The benefits of learning to play a musical instrument are numerous but the financial cost of music lessons can be a barrier. I am a great believer that music should be accessible for all and offer reduced lesson costs and instrument hire to those who are fully committed to learning the flute but cannot finance their lessons. If your child is eligible for free school meals, you could be eligible to apply for this support. Places are limited and proof of free school meals and a reference from your child's school would be required.
Catherine is an amazing flute teacher, she makes lessons really fun, enjoyable and I really feel as though I am making progress. My confidence really increased since attending lessons.
