Annabel
studied recorder and flute at the Royal College of Music
in London, winning the postgraduate prize for early music research. She
has since become one of the UK’s most respected recorder players and
chamber music artists and has performed for early music festivals and
radio networks across Europe and
America, including features on BBC Radio 3's Early
Music Show and Music Restored. She has given recitals at the
Wigmore Hall and South Bank with the baroque ensemble Passacaglia, with
whom she has also made several CD recordings, and also performs
regularly with the recorder quintet Fontanella. Annabel has a passion
for improving the provision and quality of recorder teaching in the UK
and is the founder and director of the popular Woodhouse Recorder
Week summer school for young recorder players. As well as her work
at the Birmingham Conservatoire, she also teaches at James Allen’s
Girls’ School
in Dulwich, the Centre for Young Musicians in London and
for Surrey County Arts.
