Wendy Marks Woodwind Tuition, Freeland, Nr Witney, Oxfordshire

Recommendations from past & present pupils

“I have got to know  Wendy through playing flute in the Freeland Orchestra and can honestly say that her musical talent and knowledge is outstanding.  I have had a lifelong ambition to take ABRSM Grade 8 on my flute, having taken Grade 5 at the age of 14 and then Grades 6 & 7 after my second child.  When my third child started school I thought that it was a good time to have a go at achieving my ambition.  Wendy agreed to help me prepare for my Grade 8 and I aimed to take it 3 months later.  Wendy managed to keep me truly focused on what I needed to do to achieve my goal and I thoroughly enjoyed having lessons again after about 6 years, particularly as Wendy was able to accompany me during both lessons and for my exam.  To my amazement I managed to achieve my first ever distinction with 135 marks!  I highly recommend Wendy as a music teacher and would particularly encourage adults who think they have left it too late, to think again!”   (SP - adult flute pupil)
