Jazz Saxophone & Classical/
Van 72 € /h
Hi, I’m Cassie—a British jazz saxophonist, award-winning composer, and Trinity Laban Conservatoire graduate, now based in Berlin. I’m currently looking for a couple of private saxophone and/or composition students who are keen to develop their skills in a supportive and engaging environment.
Saxophone Lessons:
With a strong background in Jazz and improvised music, I offer saxophone lessons tailored to each student’s needs—whether you’re preparing for ABRSM or Royal College exams (or other equivalent examination boards), exploring jazz improvisation, or just playing for fun. As a performer, I’ve played at major festivals and venues across the UK, USA & Europe such as Glastonbury Festival (UK, SXSW (USA) and Paris Jazz Festival (FR). I am still active as a touring band-leader/artist and I bring that real-world experience into my teaching.
Composition Lessons:
As a classical composer, my work spans orchestral, chamber, and jazz ensemble writing, with commissions from leading arts organisations and orchestras - recent commissions include the London Symphony Orchestra and BBC Philharmonic. My lessons focus on notation, orchestration, and arranging—whether you’re composing for small ensembles or larger-scale works. I hold a BMus Hons degree in composition from Trinity Laban Conservatoire (London) where I studied with American composer Stephen Montague and British composer Andrew Poppy.
Composition lessons I am able to teach both in-person and online via Zoom.
If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to get in touch!
Looking forward to making music with you! 🎷🎼

Over
As a composer and actively performing artist, teaching is an integral part of my musical journey. I enjoy helping students develop their own creative voices—whether through saxophone, improvisation, or composition. Music education is important to me because it provides the tools for self-expression, confidence, and artistic growth.
Working within the fields of Jazz, classical, and contemporary music, I bring real-world experience into my lessons, creating a dynamic and supportive space for students to explore and develop their skills. Whether you're preparing for exams, honing your improvisation, or composing new works, I’m passionate about guiding students on their individual musical journeys.

Leservaring
Beyond private teaching, I have led community and educational projects that celebrate collaboration and accessibility in music. In 2020 and 2021, I arranged and conducted a community ensemble for EFG London Jazz Festival’s She is Jazz: Womxn Make Music performances at the prestigious London venues Southbank Centre and King’s Place.
My work as a composer includes commissioned works from the London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, Ensemble Intercontemporain, London Sinfonietta and Ligeti Quartet. Arranging work includes compositions for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and continuing to write for me eleven-piece touring ensemble "seed." in which I also perform as an alto-saxophonist.
