What people say….

Taking up a new instrument in your 60s is daunting! You need a teacher who is kind, understanding and endlessly patient. Ashleigh proved to be all those things and more, and has encouraged me to achieve even more than I'd hoped to. I'm so grateful to the person who recommended him to me, and look forward to continuing to make music long into the future. Get in Touch.”

Maggie flute student of 4 years.

“I had the pleasure of meeting Ashleigh as I was invited to guest conduct the Wessex Sinfonietta for a concert in March, 2024, where he played as a first flute. I was impressed and pleased with Ashleigh’s technical abilities and musicality, showing a great taste for musical decisions always informed on the style and context of the program, and adaptability as required by the ensemble and acoustics of the rehearsal rooms and concert hall.

He is at the same time a very friendly and professional individual, showing always great character, a charming attitude, and a willingness to collaborate with his colleagues during all rehearsals.”

Ashleigh is an exceptional flautist, who makes a beautiful sound and is a dream for a conductor for being so responsive. A real joy to work with!
