Saxophone/Clarinet Instrumental and Music Theory Lessons

From 52 £ /h

In my lessons, I adopt a personalised approach tailored to each student's unique musical tastes and aspirations. My objective is to establish a strong foundation while fostering a deep connection between the student and the music they love, ensuring that lessons are both comfortable and enjoyable.

Drawing inspiration from my own mentors, I strive to instil a lifelong passion for music by focusing on technical proficiency, developing individual sound, and promoting self-expression and creativity.

I cultivate an environment where making mistakes is part of the learning process, providing a supportive and effective educational experience.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your skills, I'm here to help you grow as a musician. Together, we’ll work towards your musical goals and enjoy the process of making music.

About Me

I am a multi-instrumentalist and educator with 15+ years’ experience on saxophone, clarinet, flute, and drums, and recently graduated from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. I’ve performed across jazz, classical, pop, and contemporary styles, with appearances at venues including Ronnie Scott’s, Caveau de la Huchette (Paris), Brick Lane Jazz Festival, and We Out Here.

Alongside performing, I’m passionate about music education and sharing the enthusiasm that has shaped my own journey. I’ve led workshops and concerts in collaboration with the Guildhall School at venues such as Milton Court, Ely, and the City of Norwich School. As a member of Tomorrow’s Warriors, I believe in the power of music to inspire and create change, and I aim to help each student build confidence, develop strong musical skills, and find their own artistic voice.

Education

I completed my A Levels at Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School with grades of A in Maths and Physics, and a Distinction 3 in Music Pre-U, before earning a BMus (Hons) with a High 2:1 from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

Experience / Qualifications

In 2023, I co-founded Cosmos Saxophones, a jazz-inspired saxophone quartet performing works by composers such as Phil Woods and Gordon Goodwin. We’ve performed at major venues including Milton Court, Silk Street Concert Hall, and St Olave’s Church, and led educational workshops for secondary schools, including at the City of Norwich School.

As a member of Tomorrow’s Warriors Youth Ensembles, I’ve performed under the mentorship of Gary Crosby OBE, Binker Golding, and Denys Baptiste at festivals and venues across the UK.

Alongside performing, I teach saxophone, clarinet, and music theory to students of all levels—from young beginners to adult learners. I tailor lessons to individual goals, focusing on technique, tone, and expressive freedom, while fostering a supportive and exploratory learning environment. My teaching is informed by mentorship at Guildhall and through Tomorrow’s Warriors.

I also work as a freelance musician, collaborating with the Asian Music Community, Nepali artists, and the Nu Civilisation Orchestra.
