Saxophone Tuition and lessons in Halifax
One to one saxophone tuition is available in my purpose built ground floor studio in Rishworth. However for those you prefer not to travel I can visit your home for your sax lessons.
I am currently teaching over 40 students. I positively welcome absolute beginners and pupils of all ages from around 8 years old. I encourage older learners too as it’s never too late to start a new hobby such as playing the sax! Many younger students and more mature learners benefit by working through the grade exam syllabuses of ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall. Others prefer to learn just for fun with absolutely no pressure! My objective however is that everyone reaches their own potential and gets the most from their lessons.
Sax tuition includes for example:
- Producing a good tone
- Learning / improving reading music
- Improving your technique
- Musical development - building up your own repertoire of tunes!
- Grades for those who wish to take them from grade 1 to 8 and beyond!
- Playing along to studio backing tracks
- Music theory & improvisation as requested
- Having fun!!
What if I don’t have a sax? …don’t worry!!
First of all I offer the loan of a sax for the first few lessons (in studio). I can also advise on either the hire of an instrument or the purchase from the UK’s most respected specialist retailer local to the area.
Sax Ensembles
I also run a number of sax ensembles. This gives students the opportunity to play with others of similar ability in a relaxed atmosphere & conv. Ensemble skills, reading ability and performance skills are all improved. It’s fun and there maybe even a gig in it! All levels welcome.
