Feature
In addition to teaching saxophone professionally, some of our instructors are also qualified professional piano accompanists. Students can sing along with their instructors in class, so they won't need to find another piano accompanist when preparing for exams in the future.
Remark
To ensure a neat and clean learning environment, all students must remove their shoes before entering the practice room. Note: Basic courses are only suitable for students who have never learned/have learned the instrument for less than one year.
Course Introduction
This course is designed for students with no prior saxophone/clarinet experience and is suitable for students of all ages. The instructor will tailor the learning content and pace to each student, including basic sight-reading, ear training, embouchure control, playing posture, tone control, tonguing exercises, reed tuning (saxophone), breathing techniques, and basic fingering. This will help students master correct playing techniques while cultivating their interest in learning. Group classes will introduce ensemble techniques to enhance learning; individual lessons will also allow for ensemble practice with the instructor. The course uses a simplified teaching method, and upon completion, students will be able to play simple folk songs or popular tunes (depending on progress).
