Helen McLaughlin-Jones 

“(Helen Mclaughlin-Jones) is an outstanding flute teacher and not only extremely dedicated but very thorough, giving her students a depth of training rarely experienced even in the most prominent tertiary Institutions…On occasion of a public master class I gave in Perth I observed the standard of her students’ flute playing and musicianship. It was very impressive and they performed much better than some of the university students.”

(Thomas Pinschof) Lecturer in Flute, Head of Woodwind Victorian College of the Arts (retired) 

Flute Lessons Perth musical director Helen McLaughlin-Jones has been teaching the flute for over 25 Years.  Helen has studied under some of the best flautists in the world and the experience she has gained through working with these exceptional individuals has enabled her to develop not only the way she plays herself, but a greater understanding of the mechanics behind how to play exceptionally. This invaluable information informs every aspect of Helen’s teaching and enriches the information which she offers to each and every one of her students be they beginners or university graduates.

Over three decades of Perth flute lessons, Helen has developed skills in not only teaching but also in communicating the art of flute playing with individuals of all ages on a one to one basis. With a strong emphasis on rapport and building a good relationship with her students, students often stay between one to ten years, and sometimes more. To see some of their testimonials click here

“Helen McLaughlin has been a part time music teacher at Deepdene Primary School since the inception of the Deepdene Instrumental Music program at the beginning of 1988. During this time Helen has been responsible for the flute tuition of over twenty students, most of whom have continued their flute studies with Helen during this time. When the children have been ready Ms. McLaughlin has entered students for the Australian Music Examination Board examinations with every child attaining A Grades. Each year at the School Music Concert Helen McLaughlin has performed solos of her own. I commend Helen McLaughlin to you both as a performer and a fine flute teacher.”

Stress Free Flute Lessons in Perth

At Flute Lessons Perth Helen has a personal interest and unique skill set in working with musicians, students and professionals who are concerned about nerves when playing (“Performance Anxiety”). Her interest in this area grew from noticing, over three decades of teaching, that some students struggled with nerves while playing. Whilst a little anxiety can actually boost attention and performance, when it is too much, it can both upset the student and impair their performance.

If you’re looking for anxiety-free Perth flute lessons Helen will make a special point of working with you to overcome this and build confidence in your flute playing.
