Daniel Shao

Hi there! My name is Daniel, I graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and Oxford University with First Class Degrees and LRAM teaching Diploma (Distinction), studying with Sam Coles amongst many fabulous teachers.

I work often as an orchestral player, with groups such as the Philharmonia, London Symphony Orchestra, and Opera North, and won awards such as the British Flute Society Young Artist.

I have over 10 years of teaching experience, and all of my pupils taking exams have received Distinction or Merit. I have coached and adjudicated for the National Youth Orchestra and BFS Competition, and given classes at several universities.

Having taught pupils of all ages and standards, I am always willing to be flexible in terms of goals. I like to emphasise flute fundamentals alongside tailored direction based on a student's musical preferences.

I have training in working with SEN children through Live Music Now, and can travel or teach online.
