Common Questions

Can I start my saxophone lessons at any time?

Yes. We are open year‑round, so you can begin whenever you are ready. There is no need for you to wait for January or September to start. Just start as soon as you are ready to learn the saxophone and we will be delighted to help you learn!

How long are the saxophone lessons?

Lessons are usually 30, 45 or 60 minutes long, and you can attend once or twice a week, depending on your goals and schedule.

If you are keen to make particularly strong progress, 90-minute lessons can also be arranged. Where time allows, we generally recommend twice-weekly lessons, as regular contact with the saxophone each week naturally leads to steadier progress and greater confidence.

Are lessons suitable for beginners and adults?

Absolutely. Most of our students are adults, from complete beginners to advanced players. Every saxophone lesson is tailored to your pace and musical interests.

Do you prepare students for exams?

Yes, we prepare students for ABRSM, Trinity and Rockschool examinations across multiple instruments, with structured milestones and mock exams to support your success.

That said, examinations are never compulsory. If you wish to learn purely for enjoyment, without working towards exams, we will absolutely cater for you. We do not impose examinations or fixed goals on our students. Instead, we encourage ongoing development in a way that aligns with your individual vision for your saxophone journey .

Do I need to own a saxophone to start?

No, you can simply hire an instrument from us to get started. We will have your saxophone ready for you at your first lesson. The fee is £38 per calendar month. There is also no minimum rental.

We can of course also advise you on which instrument to purchase, should you prefer to purchase an instrument prior to starting.

Where are the saxophone lessons held in London? Do you also offer online lessons?

Lessons take place at our Fitzrovia studio (W1W 7QF) or online via Zoom—choose what suits you best, or mix both if you travel.

What is your rescheduling policy?

We require a minimum of 48 hours' notice to reschedule. With sufficient notice, we'll offer an alternative time slot and make-up the lesson!

Which type of saxophone should I learn on (alto, tenor, soprano)?

For most beginners, we generally recommend starting with the alto saxophone. It is slightly smaller, lighter, and easier to control, making it ideal for developing good technique, tone, and embouchure from the outset.

The tenor saxophone is also a popular choice, particularly for those drawn to jazz and contemporary styles. While it is slightly larger and heavier, many beginners find it comfortable depending on their build and musical goals.

The soprano saxophone is typically better suited to players with some prior experience, as it requires greater control and precision to play in tune.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on your musical interests, physical comfort, and personal preference. Your teacher will be happy to advise you and help you choose the most suitable saxophone for your individual needs.

How much practice is required between lessons?

We generally recommend a minimum of 15 minutes of daily practice. This also depends on your personal goals and long-term vision .

If you are learning purely for pleasure, 15 minutes a day (at least five days a week ) can be perfectly sufficient.

If, however, you are aiming to progress to a more advanced level, this may involve practising for several hours per day .

Your teacher will be happy to discuss this with you in more detail and provide personalised guidance based on your goals.

What styles of saxophone can I learn (jazz, classical, pop, funk)?

You can learn all styles of saxophone with us in central London, including jazz, blues, rock, pop, and classical saxophone.

Our excellent saxophone teachers will look after you regardless of the style you are into!

Is there a minimum commitment or notice period?

Lessons run on a monthly basis, and we require one calendar month’s notice should you wish to stop your course. Notice may be given at any time during your course. Please note that the calendar month’s notice becomes effective from the month following the date the notice is given.

Can I switch lesson duration later?

Yes, absolutely. You can start with 30-minute lessons and later upgrade to 45 or 60 minutes. You may also downgrade your course if needed. We simply require one calendar month’s notice to manage the diary properly.

How do I start my saxophone lessons with you?

You can start your saxophone lessons at any time of the year.

Simply fill out our enrolment form or contact form, and we’ll guide you through the next steps, confirm availability, and arrange your lessons at a time that suits you.
