Francesca is currently a member of NPO Kokoro Talk Music, working as an Assistant Music Therapist; assisting the main therapist in the delivery of music therapy sessions for individuals and for groups at facilities in the Setagaya area. Through playing music for and with clients, supporting, encouraging and communicating with the client and their family and by completing session notes on the client’s status and/or progress, the NPO aims to provide a meaningful and effective therapy for all.

Francesca has been playing the flute for 17 years and has experienced and overcome the problems which affect most learners, therefore making her a clear and understanding teacher. Through her undergraduate and postgraduate degree she performed with many ensembles and gave first class recitals. She is also an accomplished saxophonist and has had experience teaching the flute and saxophone to people aged 6 to 60. Francesca is also available to teach music theory and composition. She holds a current CRB check.

Lessons will be relaxed and fun, focusing on what the player wants to achieve whilst also building up a strong technique needed for development. She is available to teach students at complete beginner level to students at an advanced/post-grade 8 standard. She is also willing to teach via Skype.
