Flute Lessons The Hague

Hello! My name is Lucie Montbessoux. I am a professional flutist with a passion for teaching, offering flute lessons in The Hague. I have lots of experience teaching children, teenagers, and adults, from complete beginners to advanced players.

All styles

Having studied both modern and historical flutes, I feel very much at home in classical and baroque repertoire. However, I also enjoy working on popular music, traditional repertoire or even something completely new to me!

What teaching means to me?

For me teaching is an important aspect of how I share and express my love for music. I aspire to awaken your curiosity , revealing the artistic part that already exists in you, resulting in musical but also in personal growth.

A tailor-made learning plan

In your lessons with me, you will learn in a relaxed and safe environment ; step by step, at your own pace, and with a lot of kindness. Mistakes are embraced, as I believe they are an essential part of the learning experience.

What do we do in a lesson?

I usually propose a lesson plan with a warm-up, exercises (sound, technique and breathing), studies (etudes) and repertoire. Concert pieces, orchestral parts, and famous meldies in all genres. You'll learn to read notes and basic music theory. I like to vary the material, according to your needs.

Develop your Musical Ear

Listening is an essential skill in musical practice, and I make it an important part of my lessons.

Effective practising

I offer you the practice methods that I apply myself. Gradually you will be able to analyse exactly what needs to be practised, and how to achieve your goals. Discover the pleasure of practising in an effective way and experience your progress!

Trial Lesson

The trial lesson is a pleasant way to get acquainted, experience my way of teaching and discuss your wishes. If you don't have a flute yet, I have one that you can use during the trial lesson.  Let's set a date!

Where do I teach?

The flute lessons take place at my home in The Hague center, or at your home, whatever is most comfortable for you.

Online Flute Classes

Online lessons are also possible if you want.

No instrument, yet?

I can help you find a good and affordable flute, to rent or buy.

About Me

After obtaining my Diplome National Superieur de Musique  and my Teaching Diploma in France, I decided to continue my training by specialising in early music. It is through the Arma Barok Opera that I fell in love with the historical flute and decided to study in the Netherlands. I finished my Bachelor's degree, studying with Kate Clark and Wilbert Hazelzet, mastering the flute and its repertoire through the ages, from the Renaissance to the Classical period. 

Chamber Music

I often perform in both The Netherlands and France and am co-founder of Filigree, a Renaissance flute quartet, and Ensemble Mondkabarett, a French ensemble specialised in Arnold Schonberg and Kurt Weill.
