About the Saxophone
The saxophone is a powerful, expressive woodwind instrument renowned for its rich timbre, flexibility, and dynamic range. It is a leading instrument in jazz, pop, rock, funk, film music, and is also featured in classical chamber and orchestral repertoire.
Many students begin saxophone studies ages 8-10 once breath support and hand positioning are well developed. It is a ideal choice for children, teenagers and adults alike.
Our Teachers
All of our teachers hold university degrees specifically in their instrument. We select them for their passion for music and care for teaching. They are always encouraging and positive, catering to each student’s interests, desires, and goals. We teach with an “American Approach” to music education with your hands on the instrument from the first day (read our blogpost about the American Approach).
Online Saxophone Lessons Options
We offer 30-minute, 45-minute or 1-hour weekly lessons. Online saxophone lessons take place on the day and time you choose.
What You Will Learn
During your saxophone lessons, you will develop solid fundamentals including a correct embouchure, strong breath support, clear tone production, and efficient finger technique. You will learn to read music confidently, understand rhythm, build listening skills, and develop musical expression and stylistic awareness. As your playing progresses, your teacher will introduce more advanced concepts such as improvisation, jazz phrasing, extended techniques, and chamber music or ensemble skills, depending on your interests and goals.
Styles of Music
All styles of music are taught: classical, pop, jazz, rock, etc.

Useful Resources

Other Equipment: Music Stand
Students need a music stand for their lessons and for regular practice at home. It is best to have a very sturdy stand at home rather than a very light folding stand, which can be unstable and uncomfortable for daily use.
The preferred stand among many musicians is:
-Manhasset Orchestral 50 (about 80€)
If you prefer a portable stand, we recommend:
-K&M 10810 (about 70€)
