About Ed Brown
I am a Wells-based clarinet teacher, saxophone teacher, singer, and composer, with 10 years of music teaching experience to students between the ages of 7 to 80. I began playing at the age of 8 and have since gone on to perform as a soloist, and in various ensembles, in the Chew Valley/Bristol/Bath/Lancaster/Huddersfield areas.
Having been taught by a number of tutors over the years: Ben Waghorn, Paul Stinchcombe, Quita Colston, John Woodhouse, Sarah Markham, and most recently Joel Purnell, I am able to incorporate elements of the way they teach with the way I found comfortable learning.
Whether going through the grading system or just playing for fun, I structure lessons around the students’ own abilities and what they want to achieve. I encourage learning to play in various genres, including classical, blues, pop, funk, contemporary, jazz improvisation, and working with theory too should the student wish to.
Music is such a creative and therapeutic skill to have; I believe it is a shared learning experience that everyone should have the chance to develop, in a fun and supportive environment, where the student has just as much said as the tutor.

Lesson prices
At least 24 hours’ notice is required for cancellation of lessons without the need to pay, or for a refund if a payment has already been made, though this payment can also be put toward the next lesson if the tutee wishes. If the lesson is cancelled within those 24 hours beforehand, payment is still required and will not be refunded. Payment is not needed if the teacher has to cancel the lesson.
