Recorder & Music Theory lessons (free trial!)

[JamesH91]

My name is James. I've been teaching recorders of all sizes, beginner piano and music theory to a range of students of all ages privately and in schools for over 15 years. I have a degree from the Royal Academy of Music. My lessons revolve around creating a brilliant sound on the instrument and a secure technique, while having fun with interesting and varied repertoire. I work with the ABRSM exam syllabus if you wish to take exams. Tuition takes place at my home or I can travel to you. I am also teaching online via zoom. Music Theory lessons are also something I can provide separately or as part of my instrumental lessons.

Please do get in touch if you have any questions. I offer a free trial lesson 🙂

Bio

James Holden specialises in the performance of music on Recorders and Baroque flute. Studying with Pamela Thorby and Rachel Brown cemented his passion for early music, going on to study at the Royal Academy of Music with Peter Holtslag, Daniel Bruggen and Lisa Beznosiuk. In crossover collaborations that fuse elements of various musical genres as well as in early music, James is interested in pushing the limits of his instruments. His interests encompass early European classical music, world, jazz, folk, punk and electronic music.
James has performed with Laurence Cummings, Peter Holtslag, Lisa Beznosiuk, Peter Schreier, Margaret Faultless and Atarah Ben-Tovim MBE. In addition to performing, James also is an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher to students in London and beyond. He has given workshops in the South of France with Atarah Ben-Tovim on Baroque style and ornamentation and works with flautists and recorder players to evoke interest in the fascinating world of early music.
