The saxophone is such a unique instrument. Its emotive sound and iconic shape conjure up so many different thoughts in different people — from the bright sound of the soprano and alto to the darker, more mellow sounds of the tenor and baritone — and everyone has a favourite song featuring 'that famous sax solo'…
If you want to find out more about the saxophone then this site should give you a good background. If you've been thinking about starting to learn the sax and not quite got round to it yet then ask your self one question: What's stopping you?
The answer is probably you!
And if you've been playing a while and not quite got round to delving into music theory yet, I've put a page together to help you understand the rudiments of keys and chords.
As a sax teacher, theory teacher and with more than 300 gigs behind me, I understand the issues surrounding both learning, playing and performing, and try to do all I can to encourage new players. I've put this site together to provide help and advice to anyone looking to start playing the saxophone. From different models and sizes of sax, the costs, maintenance, hints and tips. There's also a section listing all the scales you'll need to know plus some play-along tracks for you to download and practise with.
For some more general sax related websites (and some not), and other local instrument teachers, see the links page.
And hopefully (if you live in the East Cheshire area) you'll come to me for lessons!
I hope you find this website of interest.
