No problem. You are still welcome to send recordings any time of your playing. But obviously, it is best for your education to attend every class if you can.

Yes! kids and adults have seperate masterclasses to cater for different approaches and goals in learning.

If you have already received a minimum of 6 months of 1 on 1 flute lessons from Liz or a previous teacher, then yes! It is for you.

Best to send Liz a video recording of your playing so this can be determined. If you are an existing student, just reach out to Liz and ask.

Each week may feature a demonstration of a performance of a famous flute player. Discussion will be generated around their performance, as listening is a very important part of becoming a good player. Then, all class participants will play through technique, rhythm and sound drills. This will be done with mics off, but music will be shown on the screen so everyone is reading from the same page. Levels of experience will be taken into consideration here. Then we will move onto those rostered on to perform for the week.

In a nutshell, sorry but no. Liz is completely restructuring how her flute lessons are delivered. She understands that this format may not be for everyone, and if you feel the need to find a new flute teacher, there are no hard feelings at all. This format is being adopted globally by many instrumental teachers, because learning in a group has its own motivational qualities, energy and benefits. It also ensures the ones who are serious about their learning as well as committed will be the ones who benefit the most. If you're sitting on the fence, feel free to try this for one season of learning (9 weeks) to see how you like it.

Absolutely — several students in the masterclass will be preparing for exams. The format is highly supportive: you (or your child) can submit unlimited 1:1 Loom videos between sessions for personalised feedback. You’ll never feel like you’re practicing in isolation.

Playing in the live masterclass becomes part of your exam preparation. Rather than building toward one high-pressure performance, you’ll have multiple mini-performances along the way — with real-time feedback. This builds confidence, reduces performance anxiety, and sharpens both technical and expressive skills in a supportive group setting.

The group dynamic adds even more value: students stay motivated, learn from each other, and feel more connected to their instrument by seeing what others are working on.

That said, success depends on self-motivation. The tools and support are there — but they only work if you (or your child) use them. This structure often reveals who’s genuinely committed — because musical progress is always self-driven, whether you’re in private lessons or a masterclass.

At a certain point — usually around six months in — a teacher’s role shifts. It’s not about telling you what the notes are or making up for lack of practice. If that’s your approach, you’re not getting the true value from any form of tuition.

This masterclass is ideal for those working up to around Grade 4.

And remember — exam results are just one piece of the puzzle. What really shapes a musician is consistent performance experience, the ability to express under pressure, and learning how to be seen and heard. That’s what this masterclass offers — and for motivated students, it can be more impactful than weekly 1:1 lessons at this stage of development.
