    About Me

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    As an award-winning British saxophonist, I am passionate about music and love sharing the joy of making music together.

    I started playing the saxophone when I was 8 years old. Within a year I joined my local jazz band and began playing my first professional gigs. Family and friends quickly recognized my passion for playing and my commitment to practice. With the encouragement of my teachers I won Soloist of the Year in the Great Northern Big Band and subsequently joined the Yorkshire Youth Big Band. At the age of 15 I started studying at Leeds College of Music.

    As a composer, I won a scholarship from Help Musicians UK to study jazz performance and composition at the Jazz Institute Berlin. It was here that I began my teaching career, traveling between schools encouraging students to discover the joys of making music together. After moving to Amsterdam in 2016, I expanded my teaching to private students of different abilities, ages and styles. I realized that teaching is as much about unlocking each student's potential to enjoy making music as it is about imparting knowledge. Lessons should be structured and challenging, but above all they should be fun!

    Typical timetable:
    - 10 minutes warm-up (long tones, breathing exercises, sound and projection)
    - 15 minutes of scales and technical exercises (reading music, ear training, clapping)
    - 15 minutes learning a song (mostly by ear, playing along with recordings)
    - 10 minutes to develop improvisation skills (build self-confidence, use improvisational tools)
    - 10 minutes of discussion, questions and homework decisions

    Currently, I have a busy schedule leading my original music project. I am also a regular member of numerous other bands, including the BvR Flamenco Big Band, the Dutch Concert Big Band and the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw. Recent concerts include major festivals such as JazzFest Amsterdam, Amersfoort Jazz Festival and a Love Supreme. Recently I have also played in Holland's most prestigious venues including the Bimhuis, TivoliVredenburg and LantarenVenster.
