Belle Brunson is a flautist beginning her second year of undergraduate study at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She started learning the flute at the age of eight through the Suzuki method which emphasises watching and listening first, following the philosophy that children learn to play music through immersion in the same manner they acquire language. This early experience of music making continues to inform her playing and appreciation that sound worlds and tone colours develop through one's unique learning experience.

She auditioned for the Hackney Borough Youth Orchestra in 2017 and then went on to join the London Youth Wind band in 2019, touring with them in Belgium. She was encouraged to join the Centre for Young Musicians, where she became a part of a wind quintet, chamber orchestra, folk group and flute ensemble. Inspired by her new love for performing with larger ensembles, Belle auditioned and gained a seat with the London Schools Symphony Orchestra where she was principal flute for three seasons performing regularly at the Barbican. Belle now studies with Sarah Newbold at Guildhall and is thoroughly enjoying the diverse number of opportunities presented to her, from orchestral repertoire classes to collaborations with jazz, folk and pop musicians.
