Hi, I’m Josie – a performing saxophonist and passionate teacher based in Cape Town/Stellenbosch. I recently completed my second Master’s degree at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. I also have both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree (Cum Laude) in Classical Saxophone Performance from Stellenbosch University. My love for the saxophone began at the age of ten, and it’s been the heart of my journey ever since. Today, I’m dedicated to sharing that passion with students who are just as fascinated by this expressive and versatile instrument. As an active performer, I collaborate with composers on new works for the saxophone and am deeply involved in research that promotes South African saxophone compositions. My work is driven by a commitment to expand the saxophone’s repertoire and reach, both on stage and through scholarship. While I specialize in classical saxophone, I’m equally excited by crossover projects and have experience performing in a wide range of musical styles. Whether you're a total beginner or a more experienced player, I’m here to help you grow at your own pace. I believe that every student is unique, so I tailor each lesson to your individual goals, needs, and musical interests. As I no longer reside in the EU, lessons will be online via a music teaching platform. All ages and skill levels are warmly welcome.
