Saxophone Lessons With Dave Gilbertson
“Learn the saxophone”
Ever wanted to?
Now’s your chance, I offer “trial” lessons during which you can come along for a “taster” lesson, designed for those without their own instrument who are interested in taking up the Saxophone.You are welcome to have a lesson with me using one of my saxophones.
Why not take the plunge!
I teach Saxophone lessons for all ages, in all styles of playing at all levels of playing offering exam studies from the new ABRSM Jazz Grades curriculum.
I mainly teach within the jazz, soul, blues, pop, rock idiom but that doesn’t mean there are no classical studies, there are, they’re also great to play and learn from.
Along with African and Latin derived or influenced music I feel it’s important to at least appreciate how these various types of music are derived.
We look at and learn song form from various music sources but for those who want to concentrate on for example the blues, well that’s fine also.
The lessons are designed to be fun whilst increasing the knowledge base from lesson to lesson, so we concentrate on making you a musician from lesson #1 where we aim to be playing music straight away.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- How to produce a GREAT saxophone sound
- How to read music
- How to develop "playing by ear"
