Über mich

Hello! I’m Rafael, an experienced music educator and professional saxophonist with over 15 years of teaching experience.

I offer personalised, one-to-one lessons in saxophone, jazz and improvisation, music theory, and English language support. I have worked with children, teenagers, and adults in schools, universities, and private lessons, and I always adapt my teaching style to each student’s goals and level.

My lessons are structured, supportive, and encouraging. Whether you are a complete beginner, preparing for an exam, or looking to develop advanced musical skills, I focus on building confidence, clear understanding, and steady progress.

I believe learning should be motivating and enjoyable, and I create a positive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring their creativity.

Lessons are available online.

I look forward to helping you reach your goals!
