Like many musicians I’m involved in all kinds of jazz education. In addition to my regular teaching at the Guildhall School Of Music and Drama and The Royal Academy Of Music I also run saxophone and composition workshops and masterclasses across the UK and Europe.

JAZZ WORKSHOPS 

I often combine a performance of my own group with a workshop, either as a one-off or part of a tour. All workshops are individually structured. Similarly, with masterclasses, I can structure and adapt to the college or school. Feel free to get in touch if you would like to find out more.

CONSULTATION LESSONS

A consultation lesson is ideal for any student who wants a general analysis of where they are with their playing and what they need to do to get to the next level. Often, students hoping to audition at a music college will come to me for a consultation lesson. Please contact me if you're interested in having a lesson or learning more about workshops or masterclasses.
