About
New Forest Woodwind
From forest to flute...
New Forest Woodwind was created in 2013, when I first began offering flute, clarinet and saxophone lessons in Dorset and the New Forest. Since then I have launched a new range of handcrafted, meditation flutes, made from carefully selected hardwoods. Forest Flutes are designed to be fun and easy to play, no matter your musical experience, and are perfect for a relaxing session of music making. Be sure to watch out for our ever-expanding collection of flute resources, including music, backing tracks, and instructional videos.

Flute (and forest) fanatic!
My musical journey began almost 40 years ago, when I first started flute lessons at school. Playing the flute quickly became an obsession, ultimately leading me to study flute performance at the University of Cape Town. I have since worked as a music teacher, both in South Africa and the UK, completed my MA in music psychology at the University of Sheffield, and appeared on the BBC demonstrating the flute to young children. More recently, I have shifted my focus to sharing the many benefits that flute playing offers, and have devoted my time to designing and making meditation flutes that can be played and enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age or experience.
