Learn to play; to decipher the scores and improvise by ear or by reading and analyzing chord charts. This course will adapt to your level of play: simple harmonies for beginners and more complex depending on the degree of mastery of the instrument. This course also includes a thorough introduction to harmony.

Are you a beginner?? No worries: no experience is required! 😁
I can teach you the basics to produce sounds with your saxophone: position of the embouchure (teeth, tongue, lips and vocal cords' position, an element often forgotten), fingerings, use of diafragma,...
After the first two lessons spent on the mouthpiece and neck for the sound production, we will immediately start to play some super easy duos together to practice your capacity of listening, pay attention to the other, ear training as well. I normally use the book of Peter Wastall (titled Learn as you play) as support, but it is not mandatory. There are plenty of good books btw!

Are you an intermediate / advanced student?? I am sure you can still improve in all the basics, but on a different level. I'll teach you the importance of the "voicing" (technique named by the american saxophonist and pedagogue Donald Sinta) to improve your sound production and projection as well as the capacity of correcting and improving the intonation. You can learn all about phrasing and music interpretation, from tonal music until contemporary atonal compositions. And still, you can improve your playing together, practicing in duo on different aspects like tuning, balance, interpretation, performance etc.

Book a lesson and try! If you are not happy, give me a feedback and go on. If you are happy, I will be happy to help you becoming a good musician!

I enjoy teaching both harp and flute at my studio in Worthing and also offer lessons online. I studied at The Royal Academy of Music, London graduating with a first-class Master's degree and an LRAM music teaching qualification. Learning an instrument is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience and I teach students of all ages and abilities from complete beginner to advanced levels. Music theory will be integrated into the lessons and you will have the opportunity to take part in performances and work towards graded exams if you wish to do so or just play for fun! Each lesson will be tailored to the individual pupil’s needs, level, and style. I teach a wide variety of musical styles including Classical, Celtic, Pop, Jazz, and more!

This class is for students of any age who wish to learn the transverse flute.

Learning an instrument takes time and commitment, but it's hugely rewarding - and it doesn't have to be boring! I have experience teaching students of all age and levels and I specialise in tailoring my teaching to meet the individual needs of each student.

Beginner flute lessons are suitable for students learning from scratch or those already playing up to about ABRSM Grade 2 level. In beginner flute lessons, you will learn the fundamentals of making a sound and play your first notes, as well as the basics of reading music. As lessons progress, you will learn your first short pieces and maybe even prepare for graded exams.

Intermediate lessons are suitable for students already playing at about ABRSM Grade 3 to Grade 5 levels. In these lessons, you will build on what you already know to expand your abilities on the flute. You will learn more about different musical styles and techniques and develop more confidence to express yourself through music.

Advanced lessons are for students already playing at about ABRSM Grade 6 and beyond. Depending on each student, lessons could involve growing more skills to take the advanced grade or diploma exams exams through to learning the skills to put together a recital programme or prepare for a music college audition. There is wide scope in these lessons to focus on your areas of interest, while still keeping an eye on the solid foundations of good flute technique and musicianship.

I have dedicated my life to the performance, study and teaching of music.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to receive a solid education, participate in various musical projects, and perform on different stages around the world, which has allowed me to develop a complete and practical vision of the musical world.

This experience not only enriches my playing, but also my teaching style: I apply my own methodology that adapts each class to the student's needs, combining musicality and enjoyment from day one.

Hi! I'm Andrés, a clarinetist and aspiring clarinet teacher. I'm currently pursuing a master's degree in music education and preparing for the competitive exams for teaching positions with the goal of becoming a conservatory professor.

I have a great passion for both music and teaching, and I dedicate a large part of my time to continuing my education and helping my students achieve their goals: from improving their academic results to getting started in music and enjoying the learning process.

For me, every class is also an opportunity for growth. I learn from every student and every experience, which allows me to constantly improve as a teacher and offer increasingly effective and personalized instruction.

I work with a fully personalized methodology, adapted to the needs, objectives, and pace of each student. Practice is the central axis of learning, always accompanied by a solid understanding of musical concepts.

I provide my own materials, notes, exercises, and scores specifically selected for each level, with the aim of ensuring real and constant progress.

One of the cornerstones of my classes is learning through mistakes. Making mistakes is an essential part of the process: I teach students to identify, understand, and correct errors independently, thus developing greater musical and technical awareness.

Who are the classes for?

My classes are aimed at students of all ages and levels, from musical initiation to professional level.

I offer training for both those who want to learn as a hobby and those who are looking for a more professional approach.

I specialize in clarinet performance and in preparing students for entrance exams to intermediate level, also teaching music theory classes, including harmony and analysis.
