I've been teaching the saxophone to beginners and advanced students for over 20 years.
I teach adults & children, from absolute beginner to advanced, including those picking up the sax again after a break, or who have previously learned another instrument.
I offer in-person lessons at my teaching studio in Waterview, Auckland, and on-line lessons for intermediate/advanced students.
I take a personalised approach to teaching, focussing on the areas you'd like to improve, including:
- Saxophone technique
- Music reading
- Playing by ear
- Improvisation
- Music theory
- Playing in bands / horn sections
- Jazz, funk, rock & roll, hip-hop, ska & reggae, world genres
Set your own goals, and learn at a pace you can handle. Everyone has their own reason for learning, and ultimately, it should be something you enjoy, even if you enjoy the challenge of it.
I make use of playalong recordings, transcriptions, my own materials and select books.
Adults: recommend 60 minutes weekly, fortnightly or casual for more advanced students.
Children: 30 or 60 minutes weekly depending on age/level.
