About Roderick
I am a professional flute player based in West Sussex and London UK. I graduated from the Royal Academy of Music, London in 2009, where I studied with William Bennett, OBE. I have also studied with Lorna McGhee, the principal flute of the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the University of British Columbia, Canada, and have participated in masterclasses given by international artists such as Emily Beynon, Emmanuel Pahud, Paul Edmund-Davies, David Takeno (violin professor) and Shigenori Kudo. I was a First Prize Winner of the Alexander & Buono International Flute Competition (New York) and performed at the Weill Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall. I also won prizes at the Royal Academy of Music Flute Prize, London Concerto Competition, BFS Young Artist Competition, and Portsmouth Music Festival. I have written two books for flute players. The first book is "Mastering the Flute with William Bennett", published by Indiana University Press in 2018. This is a book based on the masterful teaching of William Bennett, with exercises and illustrations. The second book is "7 Daily Vocalises", published by Tetractys Publishing in 2023. These are 7 challenging yet fun exercises for intermediate-advanced players. I have played with Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, West Coast Symphony Orchestra, Postmodern Camerata, Prince George Symphony Orchestra, and London Octave. As a teenager, I toured Europe as soloist in Malcolm Arnold's Flute Concerto with West Sussex County Youth Orchestra. I was Teaching Assistant at the William Bennett International Flute Summer School and have also given masterclasses at the Royal Academy of Music, Liszt Ferenc Academy in Budapest, and for the Royal Muscat Philharmonic Orchestra in Oman. I have given classes and concerts in Japan, Canada, USA, and Europe. I was on the flute faculty for VSO School of Music in Vancouver and a jury member for the 7th Internet Competition of Young Performers "My Favourite Flute" based in Russia. I am an Altus Flutes artist and play on an Altus AL II flute with a headjoint hand made by Miguel Arista. I run my own flute retreat twice a year in the UK and have published a variety of warm-up and instructional videos for flute players on YouTube.

I offer flute lessons tailored to your individual needs. Whether you are looking for regular lessons to improve your sound and find greater ease and enjoyment in your playing, or if you wish to book a few lessons to prepare for a concert, audition, exam, or competition, I am happy to help you with that. Mastering the flute is a lifelong journey and I encourage students to work on all aspects of their flute technique (tone, finger coordination, flexibility, etc.) to find greater ease and enjoyment in their musical expression. I give a range of different exercises designed to help with a student's specific technical issues. I endeavour to positively encourage the student to find their voice and true potential, working on finer details as well as the bigger picture. There is never a one-size-fits-all approach in learning the flute!
