Sax.Coach

Good saxophone coaching should change how you practise, listen and perform.
That’s the work I do with committed players.
My teaching draws on 30 years as a professional musician, over 25 years of teaching, a 100% ABRSM pass rate, and experience as a First Study Tutor at the University of Cambridge.
Lessons are focused, structured and built around the player in front of me.
Studio lessons are available for players in Kingston and Wimbledon. Online coaching is also available.

🎶 Did you know playing music doesn’t just make you better at songs — it builds skills you’ll use in almost any career, including STEM?

A recent study by the Association of British Orchestras shows that music education develops:
- Perseverance, focus & concentration
- Teamwork & collaboration
- Presentation & performance confidence

These are traits that come in handy whether you're in engineering, medicine, tech or finance.

What’s more, 14 % of respondents now work in science, maths or IT, and many credited their music experience as key to success.

If we want a workforce that’s creative and analytical, music belongs at the heart of education — not on the margins. 🎼
