Client Testimonials
“I have only had one lesson with him and he was able to take the best out of me and give me his best guidance possible. I would recommend anybody willing to become a professional musician to study with him.” – Jonatan
“Alexander has been an incredible teacher. He is very patient, breaking down tricky parts into easy steps. Alexander’s passion for music is evident, making learning enjoyable and motivating. With his support, I have gained confidence and I look forward to every lesson. I highly recommend Alexander to anyone starting their saxophone journey.” – Zena H.
“Early 2022 I bought a Saxophone, by the end of 2022 I found a tutor, Alex who has helped me tap into my passion for playing the saxophone. I’m learning skills that I thought would take me a long time to develop, such as learning by ear and reading music. I’m already learning to play Candy by Cameo, which is a family favourite, goal is to play this at upcoming family gathering in 2023. As a beginner Alex has helped me to find joy in the process of learning and staying motivated and determined to enjoy the music as I learn. It’s true that with the right tutor, you are never too old to pursue your passions and learn something new. I have no hesitation in recommending Alex to others who want to connect with music and the beautiful sound of the saxophone. I’m certain I’ll continue to improve and enjoy playing the saxophone for years to come, I see this as a long term enriching personal development.” – Rudo H
