Saxophone Lessons and tuition in Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and UK

Saxophone Lessons

For people wishing to learn to play the sax in the Manchester and Cheshire area, I can offer tuition in technique, reading, theory and improvisation.

I have played many styles of music professionally, so whatever the student’s tastes, I will be able to give them a solid grounding, whether they wish to play with other musicians or purely for personal enjoyment. I can also tutor for grade exams.

Beginners are very welcome, please don’t worry if you have no previous knowledge of music, lessons will proceed at your pace with no pressure.

For students of other melody instruments, I am able to offer lessons in Jazz improvisation providing there is a reasonable level of technical ability and some knowledge of scales.
