Saxophone Lessons with professional musician / / all levels and styles
From 57.16 £ /h
I am here for anybody wanting to learn or improve on the Saxophone or, but also offering introductory classes for beginners on the piano, flute or clarinet.
In one-to-one lessons I would like to show students different doors in music to jazz and popular music and convey excitement and joy in this complex and magical science. My emphasis is on sound, phrasing, music theory, rhythm and ear training and improvisation. The lessons are atmospherically relaxed and should stimulate personal interest. Above all, it is very dependent on the student, as I try to adapt to you individually in this regard, because music is a very subjective thing. Beginners as well as advanced learners of all ages are welcome!

About Me
I am half Australian and half German, so I speak both languages fluently. Due to living in Brazil for more than 6 months, I like to think of my Portuguese as pretty decent too!
My enthusiasm and openness towards any kind of music has always been very present since I grew up in a family full of classical musicians, my greatest passion was always towards Jazz and its related genres.
I am a friendly, modest and calm person and would like to keep a peaceful and positive atmosphere in my lessons.

Education
In 2019 I completed my bachelor degree in jazz saxophone at the University of Music and Performing Arts Mannheim. Currently I'm doing my master at the Jazz Institute, Berlin. I have been enjoying playing the saxophone for about 14 years and am very passionately on stage myself. With my own band projects I have already played at festivals such as the Jazzopen Stuttgart, Fusion Festival, Stimmen Festival Lörrach and legendary Montreux Jazz Festival. With an average of around 60 concerts per year, I have become quite experienced in the business over the years. I started teaching about five years ago, both privately and at music schools. It is very important to me to pass on my love for music and everything that goes with it and to convey the complexity and beauty in it to my students.
