Elaine Round

I am a versatile flautist with a wide range of musical experience and can play most styles. I completed my music degree at University of Surrey in 2001. Whilst there, I specialised in performance, performing solos, chamber music and in the university orchestra. After graduating, I performed the Nielsen Flute Concerto with Stoneleigh Youth Orchestra, have played for Epsom Symphony Orchestra, Croydon Symphony Orchestra and Thames Philharmonia, as well performing a variety of chamber music. Over the past decade, I have branched out from my classical routes; composing, improvising, recording and performing music in a wide range of musical styles e.g. reggae, folk, rock, electronic music and dance music with musicians, both in this country and internationally, forming various musical projects. I work as a freelance and session performer and currently work with various music producers, from many different countries. I also produce my own music, which I play live in this country and abroad and am making regular releases. I recently appeared on 'Don't Tell the Bride' playing Chinese xiao flute. I am available to play for weddings or funerals etc. Just let me know what you want me to play. I can play with a backing track, or solo. If you need suggestions, just ask me. I am available for recording sessions and any events. In addition to session work, I have been teaching the flute to children and adults since 1998 in schools, an adult education centre and privately. I completed my PGCE in 2004 and gained Qualified Teacher Status.
