Online saxophone lesson for beginners and advanced players!

How does a normal saxophone lesson look?

A saxophone lesson is completely different every time. Maybe one week we'll learn a difficult technical piece and the next week a popular song of you choice. Sometimes we talk a little bit about music theory, other times we may be improvising.
The first lessons we'll focus on building a good foundation: a perfect posture, the right breathing technique, finger- and mouth-positioning. A little knowledge about the instrument itself is certainly not skipped.

Do I have to know music theory beforehand?

No. During the lesson I will teach you music theory, to immediately apply it in practice. Rest assured, this does not precede playing the saxophone. For the people who already have a background in music theory, all the better. In the lessons I can refine your theoretical knowledge.

How often do classes take place?

You choose how often the saxophone lessons take place, this always depends on what you want to achieve yourself. It goes without saying that the more regularly you take lessons, the greater my commitment is. This is because the follow-up is easier. This of course depends entirely on your own work / school / life schedule.

How often will I have to practice?

Learning any instrument takes time and effort. The ideal solution is that you can practice a little bit every day, but I know that this is not possible for many. It is mainly a matter of exercising as consistently as possible. Preferably five minutes every day, then once a week for two hours.

How long does it take before I can play known songs?

That depends entirely on yourself. If you can practice every day from day one, it won't be long at all. If, on the other hand, you take your saxophone once every two weeks, it can take longer

From and until what age can I learn to play the saxophone?

There is no age on music. The young children can test whether they can hold a saxophone. For the little ones it is advisable to learn to play the saxophone on a curved soprano. The alt saxophone is the best option for all other interested people.

Extra information

A good camera and microphone makes the lesson easier, but a normal computer, smartphone or tablet works fine!

About Me

Al op jonge leeftijd begon ik met muziek. Ik startte mijn muzikale carrière aan de Muziekacademie te Gent. Enkele jaren later besloot ik er volledig voor te gaan en ging ik saxofoon studeren aan de muziekhumaniora. In MUDA kreeg ik les van Andy Declerck. Ik studeerde er af als Laureaat Jazz & Popmuziek in 2014. Toen werd ik toegelaten aan het Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Daar studeerde ik voor één jaar, en kreeg ik les van enkele uitstekende muzikanten als Jasper Blom, Simon Rigter, Marc Scholten, etc.

In 2019 haalde ik mijn masterdiploma aan het Conservatorium van Gent, Hier kreeg ik les van Bart Defoort (Brussels Jazz Orchestra). In 2020 haal ik mijn educatieve masterdiploma.

In 2013 begon ik met les te geven. Ik geef aan zowel jonge kinderen (7 jaar), als aan volwassenen (75+) saxofoon les. Naast privé les geef ik les op de Academie van Geraardsbergen en Izegem. Wil je weten hoe zo’n les in elkaar zit? Neem een kijkje bij De Lessen.

Ik speel(de) in verschillende projecten waaronder, maar niet uitsluitend, Screens (Gent Jazz, Brussels Jazz Weekend, Winnaar XL Concours, Ham Sessions), Jake Walker (Vooruit, met tours in Duitsland en Groot-Brittanië), het Wouter Van den Broeck Quartet, het Ghent Youth Jazz Orchestra (met een kleine tour in Japan en Groot-Brittanië), Tudau Quartet en anderen. Ook als vervanger ben ik te zien bij Eclectiv, Bigband ‘86, etc.

Wanneer ik niet bezig ben met muziek, kan je me vinden aan een klimmuur, of al wandelend in de natuur.

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.
