About

About	I’m Ben, a classically trained professional saxophonist specialising in jazz, pop and improvisation style sax. I offer lessons exploring and developing your own sound world, creating confidence with your instrument and how to perform in an effective way to an audience. With a first class degree from University of Leeds I can teach an in depth understanding of music theory, notation reading and composition. Many of my students are playing for fun and looking to develop their skills to really enjoy playing the saxophone for themselves. For other students I can take them through a curriculum if they are looking to pass a certain exam, grades or if they are preparing for a concert. As a working saxophonist I have played at the Qatar World Cup, Epsom Races, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and many more high profile events. I have developed a unique improvisational style and I’d love to pass on how I have developed my performance to this level with new students and give a memorable performance to an audience. Compositionally, I also have a string of successful Spotify releases and I can help with students to compose and record themselves in a professional manner. Whether this is jazz, dance music or hip hop I have a huge amount of experience in record production. I have found recording and learning how to record myself as a great way to improve my playing and it is something I really encourage my students to try out. I really look forward to hearing from you and I’m happy to have a free consultation to see if you think I am right for you!
