In the year following university, I completed the Licentiate Diploma in Flute Performance from Trinity Collage London, passing with distinction.

I received my qualified teacher status in 2011 and have worked for six years uninterrupted as a primary school teacher and private tutor in Sheffield.

I am extremely proud of all of my students but if I had to pick out a few recent highlights they would be as follows: Last summer, one of my flute students achieved ABRSM grade 8 with distinction aged only 15 whilst in the same exam period, another student achieved grade 6 distinction in her flute exam having already achieved grade 5 theory with distinction earlier in the year. Another private singing students of mine is currently playing Summer in Andrew Lloyd Webber's West End musical School of Rock. She will be doing so for 9 months.

Alexandra instills great enthusiasm for the music - I never have to nag my daughter to practise. This, together with her organised and professional approach, means I would unreservedly recommend her as a music teacher.
Alexandra is a fun and insightful music teacher who I very much recommend. In the past year she supported me through my grade 5 theory and grade 6 flute exam and I passed both with distinction! I am so grateful having her as my teacher as lessons are always laid back and enjoyable, which has really inspired my love for flute playing and appreciation for music in general. Five stars!
At the ripe old age of 42 I took up learning the flute...It is never too late! Huge thanks to Alexandra Middleton-Holland for her patience, excellent teaching and massive support. Alexandra is a great teacher. [My daughter] is now starting lessons in September too!!
I began flute lessons with Alexandra as a non-reader of music and now look at me! I enjoy relaxed and informative sessions in lovely surroundings. One criticism though - lessons end too soon!
Alexandra is a motivational teacher who relates really well to children. She has a great way of keeping my daughter interested and inspiring her to want to achieve and I am so impressed with how much she has learnt. The end of year concert in particular was brilliant, both to give my daughter a chance to show what she had achieved, and also for her to see the more experienced students and appreciate what is possible if she keeps working at it.
We have had a very positive experience. Our son is making great progress and, what's more, he looks forward to every lesson.
Alexandra is a fantastic teacher and is well respected and liked by her students. Our daughter enjoys her flute lessons and the approach to learning. She has made really good progress and she was new to the flute when she started. She has felt supported and encouraged. We would recommend Alexandra's flute lessons.
Alexandra is a great teacher; she has taught our son the flute now for four years and he has always enjoyed his lessons. She has worked hard to really get to know him and what suits him musically. He has just passed his grade 8 with distinction which I'm sure is down both to his ability but also her enthusiasm and knowledge
