Saxophone Lessons
Fun, easy to follow lessons, open to all ages and abilities!
Children
Lessons for children are designed to be fun, engaging, and fully immersive, covering all key aspects of music including basic music theory, rhythm, and creative expression.
Each session is interactive and tailored to the student’s interests—encouraging them to learn their favourite tunes, explore improvisation, and develop confidence in their musical abilities. We also incorporate singing and percussion to help build a strong sense of rhythm and pitch in a playful, well-rounded way.
Students have the option to work towards ABRSM exams in classical or jazz saxophone, which can be a great motivator and milestone in their musical journey. These accredited exams contribute UCAS points and can also count towards The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. Alternatively, students are welcome to play simply for the joy of music and personal development.
Adults
Adult lessons cover all the essential aspects of saxophone playing—tone, technique, rhythm, and musicality—while offering a personalised approach tailored to your goals and musical preferences.
Whether you're a complete beginner or returning to the instrument after a break, lessons are designed to be enjoyable, flexible, and encouraging. You’ll have the chance to learn your favourite songs, explore improvisation, and develop your own style. If reading music isn’t your thing, that’s no problem—there are plenty of techniques to help you play intuitively and by ear.
Adults can also choose to work towards ABRSM exams in classical or jazz saxophone if they’d like a goal to work towards, or simply play for fun and relaxation.
There are also opportunities to connect and play with other learners at a similar level, whether through informal sessions, small ensembles, or community music events—making music social as well as rewarding.
Details
I teach from my home in Stratford-upon-Avon, where students can enjoy relaxed, one-to-one saxophone lessons in a comfortable setting. I'm equally happy to travel to you if preferred, and I’ll also be teaching from Fargo Village in Coventry, offering even more flexibility.
A trial lesson can be arranged, which includes the option to borrow a saxophone for a small fee. Instruments are available to rent on a monthly basis, and from time to time, I also have saxophones available for sale.
Lesson prices start from just £20, with discount packages available for those looking to book a block of sessions.
I am a DBS-checked teacher and a fully insured member of the Musicians' Union, committed to providing a safe, professional, and supportive learning environment.
