Concerts, teaching, workshops.
A specialist recorder player, Lou trained at the Royal Academy of Music. She adores the recorder’s varied repertoire and loves to use many sizes and styles of recorder in her work.

Lou has taught recorder at schools, music colleges and universities and has a thriving private practice, specialising in group lessons.
