Saxophone

The saxophone is such a versatile instrument and one that people can come to at any age. For a lot of people, it is something they turn to after initial clarinet lessons where others look for saxophone directly. The saxophone is just as happy in a rock band as it is in a jazz, soul or funk band. In fact there are very few types of music the mighty saxophone isn’t at home with and it is because of this that saxophone lessons are so popular.

We are very excited to be able to offer saxophone lessons for anyone in Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Crawley, Brighton and other Sussex locations.

Our tutor Emma McPhilemy is an international soloist and performer who graduated from the Royal College of Music with a First Class Honours degree. She is highly versatile and can teach any genre. She has played with the BBC Philharmonic, played across Europe and China as Musical Director and soloist with Riverdance and so much more. Emma teaches sax and flute.

Frequently asked questions

How do the flute or saxophone lessons work?

The first lesson is very much geared around the teacher getting to know the student and what level of tuition they need. From there they will recommend the books and support needed to move forward. Once the tuition is ongoing each lesson will be tailored to your child. In some cases, this means shorter, more fun-focused teaching and for others, it may mean practice time or playing along with other instruments and learning music theory. 

Do you have to own a flute?

Don’t worry! We can recommend the best places to hire instruments.  Some parents prefer to do this initially until they are sure that their child is ready to commit fully to the instrument. At this point, we can offer help in choosing your first flute.

How will I know how my child’s music lessons are progressing?

Our teachers are very happy to offer ongoing feedback on the progress of a child. As well as this we welcome contact and feedback from parents on how they feel the tuition is going. We also use a practice diary system where notes can be made on progress of learning challenges.
