Saxophone / Singing Lessons (in Person or via Zoom etc)
I offer saxophone and singing lessons to all ages and abilities. My approach to teaching and learning encompasses both the practical skills and contextual knowledge of music. It's also important to have some fun along the way.
My aim is to encourage and support you with your music aspirations, whether that is playing for your own personal enjoyment and satisfaction, performing in an ensemble, or preparing for auditions and graded exams (ABRSM, Trinity, Rockschool).
I focus on contemporary and jazz repertoire (although that does not rule out playing classical pieces), and encourage students to learn by ear in addition to studying the written music. I have the facility to record students which enhances assessment and feedback. It also helps to build confidence when performing.
I am committed to providing tuition that meets individual needs, from a one-off lesson to an on-going programme. Please do get in touch to see how I can help.
Prices for tuition
- £30 per hour
- £25 for ¾ hour
- £17 for ½ hour
Please contact me for further information and availability.
*I have an up to date DBS enhanced certificate*
What my students say...
"Dan is a very patient, knowledgeable and flexible tutor and with his support I now regularly play in an amateur band. He inspired me to start working towards grades which initially I didn't have the confidence or ambition to aim for" (Dave)
"I went to Dan for singing tuition in preparation for an audition. His kind and friendly manner immediately put me at ease. Over the course of just a few lessons, we were able to really probe my voice to find my sound and really open up some potential that I didn’t even know I had! My audition was successful, thanks to Dan’s superb tuition and my new-found confidence." (Mark)
“Dan helped me a lot to take my first steps in playing the saxophone. I always looked forward to his lessons. He stretched, corrected and inspired me and also helped me achieve jazz grades; everything I needed for a solid foundation that I still use and enjoy today." (Isabel van der Ven)
"Singing lessons with Dan were always relaxed, extremely helpful and fun. He gave me confidence in my singing that I never thought I’d find which enabled me to go on to performing to hundreds of people on stage!" (Molly)
"Our two daughters have taken singing lessons with Dan which they thoroughly enjoyed and always looked forward to. Dan is a very engaging teacher and made each session interesting and fun whilst getting them to try new styles of music and singing. We would highly recommend Dan." (Mia)
