Welcome to
Hello, I'm Michael and I'm a professional Saxophone teacher offering lessons in Manchester. My lessons are known for being easy to follow and easy to understand. I will always make sure my lessons go at a pace that you feel comfortable with. I will help you improve your playing or help you figure out where to start. Beginners and more experienced players are welcome.
I pride myself on being very versatile and passionate as a musician, I carry this passion into all of my lessons to ensure my students are having fun while learning the music they love on the Saxophone. I have a great deal of performance experience and this is something that I really love to pass onto my students. I hope that one day my students will share the passion that I have for the saxophone and music in general.
My versatility comes in handy with teaching, as i also teach clarinet, bass clarinet, theory and even songwriting. I can take the skills that I've learned across these instruments and I will make sure that you enjoy the direction in which you're learning in.

I play other instruments as well and I really feel that there are a wide range of transferable skills between all of the instruments that I'm comfortable in teaching. I have great attention to detail which means I'm comfortable helping students iron out their playing and become the player they've always wanted to be. It's a long process, but one I'm absolutely delighted to help yu with.
I've taught beginners and more experienced players. I've also worked with young children alongside adult learners and I am confident I will be able to help you learn and improve your skills on the Saxophone. I offer my tuition to beginners and advanced players alike to please feel free to get in touch at any time.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I am delighted to offer lessons to students of all ages and abilities. I will always make a lesson plan that best suits your needs as a learner. I will make sure we learn at a pace that works for you and also make sure you gain confidence in your playing.
Learn the different parts of a Saxophone, the correct way to hold, and play the instrument.
Having completed my undergraduate degree at the Royal Northern College of Music in the clarinet, I then went on to study a composition Masters at the same institution whilst remaining active as a freelance player.
My teaching experience includes Yorkshire Young Musicians, RNCM Junior School, The National Youth Orchestra and Aldeburgh Young Musicians as well as numerous schools and colleges in the Manchester area.
I have years of experience teaching students of all ages and abilities and I tailor my approach to suit individual needs and goals. So whether you’re just getting started, dusting off your instrument after a long break or working towards a grade exam.
Learn how to play new scales, new pieces or how to improvise.
As a teacher, I can help you with understanding the instrument and showing you the correct technique to achieve the best sound. If you are a player who is looking for more inspiration, we can look into improvisation and how to write our own music.
I can also help you with reading music. Learning to read is a valuable skill for any musician, and learning this will enable you to play a huge selection of music.
Alongside reading music, I can help you to understand music theory and how some of your favourite music was created, and once we know this we can learn how to combine our skills of playing and understanding in different genres.
After being a musician in Manchester for many years, here are a few of my favourite spots for shopping.
