Jane Hart Flute Teacher
Personalised flute Lessons
Are you looking for a qualified teacher who is available to provide tailored lessons for your needs? I’m a qualified Flute Teacher offering personalised lessons to students in the Baulkham Hills area. I love what I do and have been teaching people of all ages and experience levels since the 1990s, always maintaining my commitment to help others discover and reach their full potential. I teach beginners right up to Grade 8 AMEB. I can help more advanced students develop their technique and prepare for exams and auditions. My students tend to stay with me for many years. My students have been successful in their HSC music performances - one Crestwood High Student recently appeared in the distinguished achievers list and is now studying a Bachelor of Music Education at Sydney University.
I currently have a very limited number of spaces for new students.
About Jane
A Caring and Patient Teacher
I am a specialist flute teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience. I have a Diploma of Music from the University of Newcastle. I am also an experienced professional musician, teacher, conductor, band director and music arranger. I was previously the music director at Kenthurst Public School and I also tutored band at Baulkham Hills North Public School and North Rocks Public School. I have also tutored music students at various other local primary schools. I currently work for Sydney Catholic Schools in the Amadeus program as a multi-instrumental tutor and ensemble conductor. I am a very patient and experienced teacher for beginners up to experienced players. It is important for beginners to have an experienced specialist teacher so that they have correct technique right from the beginning, preventing issues later on.
Lessons I Provide
Making Learning More Enjoyable
Want to blitz your AMEB exam or iron out wrinkles in your band songs or up coming performance piece? You've come to the right place.
Children from age 8 up to adults accepted.
I prepare students for grades up to AMEB grade 8. The vast majority of my students achieve an A. The lowest score my students have achieve in the past few years is one B.
​
For beginners, I can get you off to a great start, teaching correct technique right from the beginning in a fun and supportive environment. It is very important when learning the flute to have lessons with a specialist teacher. I have corrected the technique of numerous students who have learnt from poorly trained generalist band teachers. The flute is not difficult when taught correctly. Private lessons ensure much faster progress, as long as the student practices regularly at home.
​
For those ready to take the next step in their flute playing, I can assist many issues such as: – tone production – tonguing and slurring – correct posture – correct hand position – aural and rhythm training – breathing issues – range extension - music theory exams
My lessons can help with your aims: – audition preparation – going to the next level in school band – concert and competition preparation – AMEB exam preparation - HSC performance preparation - university audition advice and preparation.
Once you reach the higher AMEB grades it is important to also complete music theory grades. I can also teach you theory, with take home tasks each week, exam preparation and online exam supervision.
Learn well known classical, jazz and popular songs or challenge yourself by doing AMEB grades. I can also teach you jazz improvisation, chamber music and music theory.
Whether you’re preparing for an exam or just playing for fun or to be in band at school, for all students it is important to understand that regular practice at home is essential.
