Hi I'm Grace, a British saxophonist living in Zürich. My lessons are about giving you the tools and encouragement to discover your personal musical identity. Do you have a favourite genre/style of music? I have experience performing and teaching Classical, Pop, Techno, Jazz, Blues and Folkmusic, so we can get started with whichever you prefer.

Gemma Galeano
Saxophone lessons adapted to your needs and wishes!
I have many years of teaching experience working in Music Schools and as a private teacher. I have taught from children to adults and prepared students for entrance exams. My educational philosophy relates to increasing the motivation of the students through showing them easier, effective and fun tools and ways to work on our instrument.
I am specialized in classical saxophone, but I combine it with contemporary saxophone, jazz, contemporary improvisation and piano. We could also combine our classical saxophone lessons with those specialties, in order to obtain a complete learning. We could also improve the musical base through theory and solfa lessons.
If you are interested in playing the saxophone as a hobby or professionally, I will adapt the lesson contents taking into account your needs and wishes.

Alice
Saxophone lessons for all levels and abilities in Amsterdam
I am a passionate and experienced saxophone teacher who has honed a highly efficient and patient approach to music instruction. I am motivated and pro-active and enjoy working with people to reach their goals.
Alongside making sure that whatever goals the student has in mind are achieved, my main focus is making sure that each lesson is enjoyable and to ensure that we have a consistent level of communication (with the student or parent) to figure out the best approach for both of us. Most importantly, I aim to make the lessons fun.
I have experience teaching all ages and abilities. Whether you're a total beginner or someone who wants to continuing their learning, I'm happy to help. I have experience with entering students for exams, if that is something you'd like to do.
I've have a BMus Hons in Jazz Saxophone and am a performer as well as a teacher.
I can cover:
- Playing the saxophone for the first time
- Improvisation (on all instruments asides from saxophone)
- Technique
- Theory and harmony
- Playing in different styles
Please get in touch if you have any questions!
I prefer to teach from my home studio, but if within a reasonable area I am happy to travel to the students home.
Gregor
Saxophone Lessons - Music Theory Lessons Jazz - Improvisation Lessons
Studied jazz musician gives saxophone lessons, focused on the joy of making music. You decide where to go.
I'm on stage full-time.
I am currently involved in a large number of projects with various musical styles. My references include an appearance on the Dutch television station L1mburg TV, as well as a concert on the public radio program NPO Jazz in the Netherlands, as well as appearances at various jazz festivals, including North Sea Jazz Rotterdam, JazzOut Limburg and the Göttingen Jazz Festival.
Music has accompanied me since early childhood.
I started playing the flute when I was five and the saxophone when I was nine.
After gaining a lot of experience in big bands, funk/soul bands, rock bands and other projects, my interests culminated in studying jazz and saxophone at the Maastricht Conservatory, which I successfully completed in 2021.
About the lesson:
It's not just about jazz. You determine the style of music. Whether pop, funk or soul, I'm open to everything.
Reflection is the be-all and end-all. I'll teach you music theory and everything to do with sax. The feel and the fun of making music is always the focus. You decide which direction we take. If desired, improvisation plays a major role. The course is suitable for all ages and levels. I take the time to adapt to you and to fulfill your wishes e.g. music style, direction etc..
The lessons take place in my own studio, at your home or online via webcam.
No saxophone or previous knowledge necessary.
Bastien
Classical-contemporary saxophone (Included: approach to improvisation, harmonic understanding and basic music theory)
Graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (spe. Classical/contemporary saxophone), I know how to easily mix practical courses and theoretical notions, in order to adapt to the student as well as to his interests to provide a course that really brings him the elements that will allow him to quickly flourish in the musical field.
With 7 years of teaching experience in ASBL and in particular, I usually train students of all ages, beginners as well as advanced.
I am open to a large number of musical styles, current or old, focusing my artistic approach on an "all musical".
I currently specialize in mastering the Saxophone, on a classical and contemporary repertoire, but I am also very open to improvisation and live music such as jazz (swing, bossa, fusion, ...) but also to electronic styles (D&B, Dubstep, Lofi, House,..)
My ultimate goal is to allow the student to express his ideas in music, and that he evolves and flourishes in what he really likes.
I take beginners without any knowledge of music theory.
I am available in:
* Brussels region.
* Region of Tournai occasionally.
* Online, via webcam lessons
