Netty followed a career in social work before turning a passion for the recorder into a profession. In 2005 she was awarded a Masters Degree from the Royal College of Music, where she studied recorder with Ashley Solomon (early music), and Julien Feltrin (contemporary).
Netty's eagerness to promote her often misunderstood instrument is fundamental to all her work. Keen to encourage new writing for the recorder, Netty feels privileged that in 2024 she premiered the beautiful new Sonata for Recorder and Piano by Paul J Burrell, with the composer at the piano; and in 2025, together with her consort Mosaic Recorders, Mosaic (mosaicrecorders.uk), Netty plans to premiere four trios by New Zealand composer Jacob Barrett. Another of Netty’s favourite activities is the transcription and performance of little known English stage works of the later 18th Century, and her Baroque ensemble My Lady's Chamber has brought about the modern premiere of a collection of pieces probably not heard for around 250 years.
As an educator, Netty tries to inspire from the very beginning a love and respect for the recorder amongst children and adults alike. As your teacher, Netty will always adapt to your learning needs. Working together, we will ensure you have a firm technical foundation from which to develop and realise your personal musical expression.
