Sax to Songs: The Beginner’s Jumpstart Get over the technique hurdle, bridge your favorite pop and rap hooks to the horn, and start playing real music from day one! Class Overview Sax to Songs is designed for absolute beginners and rusty starters who want to skip the tedious technical drills and focus on what actually matters: playing songs you love. In this supportive and fun class, we demystify the basics just enough to get you making great sounds, and then immediately apply them to real-world tunes. Whether your favorite music is chart-topping pop, heavy-hitting rap beats, smooth R&B, or classic soul, you’ll learn the shortcuts to sounding great without getting bogged down in theory. The Secret Melody: From Beats to Ballads Love rap and modern pop? Your favorite tracks are already built on incredible hooks and vocal lines. In this class, we show you that a saxophone doesn't play "old-fashioned" music—it functions just like a vocal lead or a catchy synth drop in your favorite modern songs. The way I see it: If you can hum it, you can play it. I’ll teach you how to translate the infectious energy of pop and hip-hop phrasing, to name a few genres, into smooth, expressive melodic playing that commands the room. What You Will Learn The 5-Minute Setup: Quick tricks for putting your horn together, managing your reed, and getting a confident tone instantly. Essential Finger Shortcuts: Master the core notes you actually need to play hundreds of popular songs and catchy hooks. Rhythm & Groove: How to play with feel and make the notes swing, rock, or lock into a modern beat rather than sound like a robot. Play-Along Mastery: Build confidence by playing right along with backing tracks, modern loops, and your favorite recordings. Who This Is For: Anyone who wants a low-stress, high-reward musical community. No boring sheet music drills allowed! Bring your saxophone, an open mind, and get ready to turn your favorite hooks and favorite songs into real music on week one!

“Don't play the saxophone. Let it play you.” – Charlie Parker Every person has their own musicality—we just need to let it come out. My goal as a teacher is to help you discover how much fun, joy, and passion music can bring. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced player, I will guide you in developing both your technical skills and your personal voice on the saxophone. I began my musical journey in Verona, Italy, where I graduated in Classical Saxophone in 2017. Soon after, I started teaching saxophone at the Lizard Music Academy in Garda and introducing music to children in primary and middle schools. Later, my passion for improvisation and creativity led me to continue my studies at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam, where I specialize in Jazz and Latin music. I believe music has no age: you are never too young or too old to express yourself through an instrument. If you feel drawn to the warm, expressive sound of the saxophone, let’s begin this musical journey together. “Whatever you think can’t be done, somebody will come along and do it.” – Thelonious Monk SAXOPHONE LESSONS: To truly express your musical ideas on the saxophone, you need a strong connection between body, mind, and instrument. That’s why every lesson begins with a focus on sound and technique—developing your tone, breath control, and body awareness. You will learn how to shape your own saxophone sound and how to “sing” through the instrument. For beginners, this process may take a few weeks, but it quickly shows how musical practice can positively influence not only your playing but also your body, emotions, and creativity. To make your learning experience enjoyable and personal, my lessons are always adapted to your goals and musical interests—whether that’s reading music, improvisation, or other areas you want to explore. Together, we will also build your own personal repertoire of songs that reflect who you are. The second part of each lesson will be dedicated to working on these pieces, so that you develop not only technique but also musical expression. HOW MY LESSONS WORK In my lessons, the main focus is sound. A beautiful saxophone sound has the power to captivate an audience with just a single note. That’s why we always start by working on long tones across the full register of the instrument. The more natural and relaxed your embouchure and body are, the more easily the reed will vibrate—resulting in a warmer, personal sound. We will then explore saxophone technique, including scales, arpeggios, vibrato, tonguing, dynamics, overtones, and playing in both the low and high registers. These exercises will give you the technical foundation to express yourself freely. From there, we’ll connect technique with music: 1. Harmony & Improvisation – We’ll work directly on the songs you love. By transcribing, analyzing, and exploring harmony, you’ll learn how to improvise over chord progressions and develop your own repertoire. 2. Reading Music – An essential skill if you want to play in bands, ensembles, or orchestras. We’ll practice sight-reading and written repertoire to strengthen this ability. 3. Audition Preparation – If your goal is to enter a conservatory (classical or jazz), I have experience guiding students through auditions. We can focus on etudes, required repertoire, and exam preparation. Above all, my approach is personalized to your goals and interests. Whether you want to play your favorite songs, learn to improvise, or prepare for advanced studies, I’ll guide you step by step. I believe that music makes the mind free, and that everybody can play—it’s just a matter of practicing and listening in the right way. If you feel that the saxophone is your instrument... what are you waiting for? 🎷 Let’s make music together! FOR THE CURIOUS (and the Nerdy!): For students who want to dive deeper into the world of the saxophone, I also offer special listening sessions dedicated to the instrument’s role in music history and across different styles. We’ll explore the saxophone in classical repertoire (Gershwin, Bizet, Milhaud, Rota, Bernstein, Steve Reich, Michael Nyman...), and then follow its journey through popular music: Blues, Jazz (Stan Getz, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins...), Latin, Rock & Roll, Pop, and beyond—right up to today’s music. Together, we will listen to the milestones of great composers and performers who shaped the history of this fantastic instrument. It’s a journey of discovery into the beauty of music through the saxophone—one that will inspire you, expand your listening, and deepen your passion for this amazing art form.
