Anna Hopkins's Profile

Background:

I am a classically trained flautist and studied at the Royal College of Music, London, where I was awarded the G.R.S.M (Hons) degree, A.R.C.M. (teaching diploma) and Advanced Certificate in performance. As a performer I have worked throughout the Uk, freelancing as a soloist, orchestral musician and with many ensembles. I have 30 years of experience teaching flute, in schools and privately, both online and face-to-face, and my pupils range from age 5 to 75. As a teacher, I believe it is my responsibility to encourage a love of music, whether it be working for exams, or to play for fun only, and to help the pupils achieve their personal musical goals. I have also been an examiner for 25 years for Trinity College London, and this has helped me to provide excellent preparation for pupils who want to take exams. I enjoy teaching pupils of all ages and abilities and encourage learning a broad range of repertoire.
