What kind of experience do you have?: I taught as a woodwind teacher for the Birmingham music service for 4 years after graduating before moving to London. As a member of the Birmingham music service I became the Saxophone specialist teacher which meant I was teaching the leading young saxophone players in the region. With Birmingham I was also involved in the governments scheme of Wider Opportunities teaching flute/clarinet to whole classes of Key Stage 2 students.

While living in Birmingham I became musical director for 4 years of a community based big band called 'The Notebenders' with members ranging in age from 7 to 60. I led the band and arranged all the music. This band became partners with the BBC Big Band which involved regular workshops with both bands, my final performance with them before moving to London was a joint gig with the BBC and played on BBC Radio 2.

I am currently teaching saxophone at a leading Grammar School and teaching privately in South London I have entered over 90 pupils for ABRSM exams and have had 4 of my students progress to gain entries into music college in both the jazz and classical departments.

Aside from my teaching experience I also have the experience of being a professional musician having performed with various bands in different venues in and around Europe such as Ronnie Scotts, The Royal Festival Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall and The Bulls head. I have also performed on BBC radio 2 and in a recent 60 minute performance of newly composed music on Radio 3.

I am also happy to help prepare a student for auditions and competitions. Please be aware though that I wont be making any students do any exams if they are not interested as you can still have great lessons with good progress without having to take exams.
