It is possible to learn a piece easily with the saxophone.
I am a saxophone teacher at the Ecole Internationale de Lausanne, at the Ecole Nouvelle of French-speaking Switzerland, and I regularly teach young students. To get their attention, you have to be creative and you have to see results in a very short time.
That's why I say that I can teach you to play a piece on the saxophone in 3 lessons. So, if you want to try, I'd be happy to show you how.

Marcos begins his studies at the Conservatory of Music of Tenerife. During these years, he studied professional education, specializing in music at the University of La Laguna. Then he took the top grade in the Zaragoza Conservatory of Music, where he finished with Professor Mariano García.

After completing his studies, Marcos graduated from the University of Zaragoza with a Master's degree in Secondary Education.

Currently he is studying the Master's degree - Concert with Pierre-Stéphane Meugé at the HEMU Lausanne.

Very interested in saxophone pedagogy, with extensive experience as a teacher, Marcos offers personalized work with every student, adapting to all ages and levels.

I graduated with a Master in Jazz performance and composition and a Master in Jazz instrumental pedagogy at the HEMU in Lausanne. I have gained teaching experience since 2013 through private lessons as well as lessons in two music schools. I am a musician in different groups (Traditional Jazz, Jazz-fusion, Modern Jazz (my sextet)) in France and Switzerland. I also trained in classical orchestration for two years.

My lessons are aimed at beginners as well as more advanced, of all ages.

We will be able to approach the technical notions of the instrument in order to better master it but also improvisation, musical theory, composition, rhythm.
I try to base my pedagogy on the musical tastes of the students while making them discover, by listening or playing, other musical currents.
I play clarinet, bass clarinet and saxophone and I can accompany you on the piano depending on the pieces.

Please note, however, that I cannot lend you an instrument.

The course can take place at my home or in my office.
I can travel to your home but a travel allowance will be required.

I can also teach in English and I'm used to it.

I have also studied music in Dublin Ireland, where I acquired a Higher Certificate in Jazz and Contemporary Music from Newpark Music Centre's Berklee Track program which is facilitated by Berklee College of Music in Boston. I was the 2024 laureat of the Foundation Casino Barrier Award for talent and creativity and a 2018 winner of the Zimbabwean National Arts Council's National Arts Merit Award (NAMA). I am excited to find eager students at all levels who are keen to learn and challenge themselves in making and learning music. My classes are dynamic, engaging and well prepared.

Discover the saxophone with a personalized, creative approach adapted to all profiles.

The classes I offer are aimed at anyone wishing to learn or deepen their saxophone playing, regardless of age or skill level. Through student-centered teaching, I create a customized learning path that respects each individual's pace, desires, and goals.

Types of courses offered:

Individual lessons from age 6 (30, 45 or 60 minutes)
Duo course (2 people of the same level)
Family classes (parents and children learning together)
Courses for adults, beginners or advanced
Courses for retirees or elderly people
Courses accessible to people with disabilities

Musical styles explored:

From classical to jazz, blues, pop, film music, world music, or improvisation—each student has the freedom to discover what they truly enjoy.

My approach places equal importance on technique and musicality. I encourage each student to develop their own artistic voice while acquiring a solid foundation. For younger students, I create a fun and structured environment, working with parents, to make learning both effective and enjoyable.

Courses available in person in Geneva, Nyon, Lausanne and Montreux, or online.
Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your wishes and arrange an initial lesson.

Learning basic techniques, music theory, improvisation and ear development are part of the training.

The saxophone course is personalized depending on whether it is a beginner or an advanced student.

Beginner students will learn the solid basics, such as: good posture, good breathing, producing a beautiful sound, scale exercises, reading sheet music, basic rhythmic exercises. We will perform these exercises from different scores, which I can provide if necessary, and at the same time I also try to convey my own experiences. In general, I first show the exercise on my instrument and then let the student try to play it. We often play together.

For advanced students, we will learn more complex pieces, more difficult harmonic and rhythmic exercises, thus expanding the limits of the instrument.

Classes also include some music theory and history of music during class.

I also consider it important to show how one can work effectively alone.

Student at the Lausanne music school, I offer saxophone lessons.

My experience playing in very varied ensembles and styles (chamber music, metal groups, rock, funk, Cuban, gospel, tango, orchestras, big jazz band, etc.) and with various musical instruments has allowed me to allowed us to develop a versatile musical approach.

I followed a classical conservatory course in guitar and saxophone, then a jazz saxophone course.

I am currently studying Bass Jazz, double bass and piano, while continuing my activities as a saxophonist.

At the same time, I worked as a teacher and researcher in acoustics in different universities.

During my lessons, I guide the student through a progressive and structured educational approach while guiding him or her in learning pieces that correspond to their objectives. I offer a lot of duets to raise awareness about playing together. Finally, I try to transmit a musical sensitivity that will allow the student to flourish in various musical contexts.
