Join me for a fun and interactive 1-on-1 music lesson in saxophone playing where I will help your child learn, improve and master musical concepts like note reading, good technique and playing musically through using a variety of pieces. In our lesson we will focus on musical elements such as pitch, rhythm, dynamics and musical expression. It is important for saxophone students to understand these musical elements and how they are so vital in creating a musical performance. We will go through technical exercises as well as playing pieces. The musical styles can be adapted to each individual learner to cover pop, jazz, ad classical playing. The lesson content will be tailored for the needs and ability of the learner. Therefore, this is an ideal class for a student starting out on the saxophone who wants to know how to master the basics of saxophone playing or for the music student working on more complex solo pieces for auditions and exams.
Learning Goals
By the end of the session the student will have mastered a new musical concept linked with technique, musicality or the piece they are learning. This will give the student a clear goal for practising and improving their saxophone playing.
