Gitte
Marcusson is Professor of Flute at Royal College of Music, London. She is devoted to and
passionate about teaching and, in addition to her professorship at RCM,
she coaches students worldwide in her London-based studio. She has taught many
of today's outstanding flautists, who now play hold positions in orchestras
worldwide. Gitte taught at Chethams School of Music for 16 years and is much in demand
as guest professor giving classes at conservatories and colleges around the
world. She is founder and director of Nordic Flute International Summer School.
As a student Gitte Marcusson left her native Denmark to study flute with Trevor Wye and Clare Southworth in Manchester. Later she continued her studies in London with Patricia Lynden, Patricia Morris and Rachel Brown.
After a decade living in London combining orchestral playing, chamber music and teaching she moved to Sweden where she was co-principal with Camerata Calluna Chamber Orchestra 2000-2010. Her commitment to chamber music shows in the vast numbers of performances at societies and festivals throughout Europe. One of her 500 concerts for "Live Music Now" was a performance at Buckingham Palace celebrating Sir Yehudi Menuhin.
She is a member of the faculty at Wildacres Flute Retreat, North Carolina, and Professor at Voksenåsen Music Academy, Oslo.
Due to the enthusiastic response to Gitte Marcusson’s “Practicing and Teaching Effectively” class last June, we are scheduling her to teach a six hour course as an afternoon class in 2025, where she will present “Revisiting Marcel Moyse,” utilizing his “Twenty Four Little Melodic Studies,” “Tone Development Through Interpretation,” “De la Sonority,” and “Gammes et Arpeges - 480 Exercises Pour Flute Traversiere.”
