Welcome to Craig Smith Music's page for woodwind lessons in West Lancashire (Southport, Ormskirk etc), Chorley, Manchester, Salford, and their surrounds. The tuition agency was set up when Craig Smith's very popular private tuition practice became overwhelmed with demand from prospective students. We currently have Sarah on our books, offering one-to-one flute lessons and saxophone lessons (as well as piano lessons), in Salford, Merseyside and West Lancashire. Her flute tuition is available in the form of home visit lessons, and she is also available to offer school flute lessons in a peripatetic tuition capacity. We expect to have a further flute and recorder teacher available to provide lessons from mid-January.
New Lessons Available: We're taking bookings for new lessons on flute, sax and recorder right now! Absolute beginners to advanced performers. To enquire, click here.
Which instruments do the teachers teach? [Top]
At present, we have one flute tutor and saxophone tutor on our books, and are in the process of bringing on board a second. As well as teaching sax and flute lessons, Sarah offers piano lessons (flute or sax tuition can be combined with piano lessons in the one lesson where desired), and her lessons are available to complete beginners and upwards. Sarah is a mobile teacher, who travels to students homes to provide her piano and flute lessons. This means she can travel to several towns and cities including Chorley, Salford, Wigan, St Helens, Skelmersdale, Ormskirk, Southport and all surrounding areas of these locations.We have keyboard teachers, drum teachers and guitar teachers across the North West; see the other Tuition Agency pages from the menu above for further details.

Who will teach my lesson? [Top]
Several of the teachers on our books are past students or long-term associates of Craig, meaning we are sure that they meet our expectations both personally and as musicians and teachers.Sarah recently came on board to cover the increasing demand for woodwind lessons and piano lessons in Merseyside, and will also be covering Salford, as well as central and west Lancashire.

Sarah, who is working on a career as a professional music teacher, is primarily a flautist (flute player). Having achieved her grade 8 on flute, she went on to study a music degree at Salford University. She has experience in classical orchestral music and jazz flute, and has also played saxophone in big bands. Sarah is also a good pianist (always useful when working as a flute tutor), and also teaches piano lessons through Craig Smith Music. Her flute lessons and piano lessons are available in Salford, as well as West Lancashire and Merseyside.
Sarah provides flute lessons for beginners to advanced level, saxophone lessons for beginners to advanced level and piano lessons for beginners through to intermediate level.
All of our music teachers have to meet certain criteria before being formally accepted onto our books. These include, but aren't limited to, having high levels of ability on the instrument(s) to be taught, graded certifications in performance and theory of music, and suitable teaching space when they teach from home or a studio. They are also asked to provide a CRB disclosure.
