    Saxophone lessons in English or Japanese for all ages and levels (英語または日本語勉強中の方にも是非♪)

    Hello :) My name is Ayari and I am a saxophonist currently based in Yokosuka/Yokohama/Tokyo area. I lived and studied in Canada for about a decade and have just recently returned to Japan. I am fluent in English and Japanese. I have a BMus from a university in Canada and would be delighted to offer you saxophone lessons. My degree is in classical music but I would be happy to work with any style or genre of music! I have a lesson place just a short walk from Kenritsudaigaku station but if it does not work well for any students or their families, I am pretty flexible on locations. I am also experienced in online lessons and would be happy to meet online instead (or hybrid with in-person lesson depending on your schedule). Feel free to send me a message and I am looking forward to meeting you! All ages and levels are welcomed :) I can also accommodate a group lesson!
