Thank you for visiting. I'm a passionate music teacher and performer offering flute and piano lessons from my home in Hordle, conveniently located for students in Sway, Brockenhurst, Lymington, New Milton, Milford on Sea, Barton on Sea, and nearby areas.
With over 30 years of experience in music education, I bring a blend of expertise, creativity, and care to every lesson. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned player looking to deepen your connection with your instrument, I tailor each lesson to support your musical journey in a way that is inspiring, engaging, and enjoyable.
What I Offer:
Accompaniment Services
As piano accompanist, I’m available for exams, concerts, and festivals. I work closely with students to support expressive performance and offer guidance in stylistic interpretation, drawing on my years as a professional orchestral musician.
Live Music for Events
Looking to add a touch of elegance to your event? I perform as part of a flute and cello duo, as well as soprano and piano offering live music for weddings, private parties, corporate events, and more. Our music brings warmth, charm, and atmosphere to any occasion.
Let's Make Music Together
If you're ready to begin or continue your musical journey—or if you’re looking for a professional accompanist or live music for your event—I’d love to hear from you. Get in touch to find out more or book your first lesson.
“Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue” - Plato
I started piano lessons with Petro at 64. She’s been patient, encouraging, and deeply knowledgeable in both music and theory. Lessons are always fun, and I reached Grade 1 in under a year. Petro tailored lessons to include music I enjoy and brings a unique blend of professionalism, empathy, and music therapy. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a teacher.

Petro is a brilliant flautist and teacher who transformed my playing. Through her expert guidance and encouragement, pieces that once felt impossible became enjoyable and achievable. She creates a vibrant, supportive space where your musical voice can truly grow. Petro brings out the best in her students—I can't recommend her enough.
by Isabella Stocchetti – Advanced Flute Student
Henry: Petro is kind and patient, helps me learn my pieces, and makes lessons fun!
Natalie: Since starting with Petro, Henry has progressed so much—he’s confident, enthusiastic, and even performing at his first music festival. She’s engaging and supportive, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone starting piano or looking for a new teacher.
by Henry Richardson (Young Piano Student) & Natalie (Mum)
Hugo: In just 18 months, Petro took me from a beginner to Grade 5. She supports my musical taste and helps me learn faster by playing pieces for me. Her encouragement and talent make lessons inspiring.
Clarissa: Petro has been transformative for Hugo’s music journey—he’s now confident, progressing fast, and even taking GCSE Music. Her flexibility, energy, and intuition make her an outstanding teacher for students of all ages.
by Hugo Kindred (Piano Student, Age 15) & Clarissa (Mum)
After years away from the flute, I was ready to give up—until I met Petro. In just seven months, I’m playing better than ever and loving it. She’s everything a teacher should be: passionate, professional, encouraging, non-judgmental, and truly committed to helping you grow. Her enthusiasm and tailored approach make every lesson a joy.
