Saxophone lessons adapted to your needs and wishes!

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Teaching music has been my passion for 10 years, so I really enjoy teaching my students. I love seeing them improve in each class!

I will tell you a little about myself:
In 2021 I completed a Masters in Music Performance and in 2023 a Masters in Music Pedagogy. I also have many years of teaching experience in music schools and as a private teacher. I have taught from children to adults and prepared students for entrance exams. I specialize in classical, contemporary and free improvisation, but combine it with jazz, pop, rock, etc.

My pedagogical philosophy is about increasing student motivation by showing them easier, more effective and more fun tools and ways to work on our instrument. Playing an instrument shouldn't be a chore, but rather a way to switch off from the hectic pace of everyday life. For this reason, my lessons are relaxed and fun. I think improvisation is an essential tool for learning something. That's why improvisation in all its forms is always present in my lessons. I have also been playing the piano for 11 years, so I could accompany my students.

If you are interested in playing the saxophone as a hobby or professionally, I will adapt the lesson content to suit your needs and desires.

Reviews (1)

I am only too happy to recommend Gemma. She is very responsive to my needs and she also teaches a lot of games and doesn't just teach dry theory.
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I offer Spanish conversation classes for all levels, needs and desires, both in person in Zürich and online. We can set the conversations on different topics proposed by me or by you (how to order in a restaurant, how to say hello and goodbye, talk about the weather, talk about the family or knowing how to indicate an address). I adapt to your level and with time and practice I can help you become fluent in Spanish. I am a very patient girl, I speak clearly and slowly if necessary, in addition, I try to vocalize whenever I teach Spanish to other people. My native language is Spanish, but I also speak Catalan, English and German, so I could translate some things for you that you didn't understand. If you are interested in improving or learning Spanish, do not hesitate to contact me!

Cassie
Jazz Saxophone & Classical/Jazz Composition Lessons
Hi, I’m Cassie—a British jazz saxophonist, award-winning composer, and Trinity Laban Conservatoire graduate, now based in Berlin. I’m currently looking for a couple of private saxophone and/or composition students who are keen to develop their skills in a supportive and engaging environment. Saxophone Lessons: With a strong background in Jazz and improvised music, I offer saxophone lessons tailored to each student’s needs—whether you’re preparing for ABRSM or Royal College exams (or other equivalent examination boards), exploring jazz improvisation, or just playing for fun. As a performer, I’ve played at major festivals and venues across the UK, USA & Europe such as Glastonbury Festival (UK, SXSW (USA) and Paris Jazz Festival (FR). I am still active as a touring band-leader/artist and I bring that real-world experience into my teaching. Composition Lessons: As a classical composer, my work spans orchestral, chamber, and jazz ensemble writing, with commissions from leading arts organisations and orchestras - recent commissions include the London Symphony Orchestra and BBC Philharmonic. My lessons focus on notation, orchestration, and arranging—whether you’re composing for small ensembles or larger-scale works. I hold a BMus Hons degree in composition from Trinity Laban Conservatoire (London) where I studied with American composer Stephen Montague and British composer Andrew Poppy. Composition lessons I am able to teach both in-person and online via Zoom. If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to get in touch! Looking forward to making music with you! 🎷🎼

This type of research could be observed in his project for his final master's recital in Brussels where he created a project based on Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of human needs where he mixed live, recorded music, dance, light shows and effects under the name: “according to Maslow... ” In terms of his career as a concert artist, he has played in different ensembles (solo performances, duo, trio, quartet, orchestra...) and different countries such as Japan (Artisanal Musical Fair "Suono Italia" 2010), Belgium (Festival Musiq3 2016), Artonov Festival at BOZAR in 2016...), France (Dax chamber music festival 2011) or Spain (Music Festival “Quincena Musical” 2015, Aste Nagusia 2015, Heineken Jazzaldia 2014, Festival Kutxa 2015, Intercentros Melómano 2010).

Joanna
Flute, Piano, Singing, Saxophone, Clarinet and Music Theory Lessons
I teach instrumental lessons (face to face from my Music Studio and online) on flute, piano, singing, saxophone and clarinet, as well as music theory. I also offer general musical skills sessions for young children who are not quite old enough to learn one specific instrument yet. I have experience as a Music Teacher and Lecturer for schools and colleges, so I also offer help with GCSE and A-Level Music. I attend regular Safeguarding training and I have an advanced DBS on the update service. I also have experience working with children who have special educational needs and EHCP’s. Learning music and an instrument as well as being part of a group or ensemble, is about much more than becoming a performer. The skills and techniques learnt, are incredibly versatile for use in other subjects as well as being valuable life skills. Below are some of the skills which are developed in Music: Co-ordination Motor skills Imagination Expression Commitment Discipline Organisation skills Self evaluation Confidence Team work Communication Support Setting targets and goals Sense of achievement I am also a Musical Director for choirs where the importance is on community, enjoyment, health and well being and making sure that people feel included and good about singing with a wide range of repertoire including classical, folk, jazz, gospel, pop and musical theatre. I also have experience of running school and college choirs, orchestras and ensembles. I choose repertoire of various genres for students to explore different sounds and styles, with some being quicker to learn but effective, to build a more instant satisfaction and confidence within the group, while other pieces are more technical, allowing students to challenge themselves. As well as being a solo Flautist, Singer, and Saxophonist, I am part of an acoustic Classical Flute and Guitar duo, a Folk duo, a Jazz ensemble and a Folk Rock band, performing at weddings, private functions, festivals and events.
