Southampton based teacher needed

[kirky]

Hi there my names Dave and I'm 32 and have just bought my first sax(yammy 275)
Could anyone recommend a good tutor for a begininer, my main musical intrests are ska and reggae so would it be best to go down the jazz route to start with, my brother says the O'Neill Jazz method is a great way to go.
Secondly with shift work and a young baby girl can they be flexible or do you have to go the same day every week
Thanks Kirky

I've heard there's a great player in Southampton goes by the name of Pete Thomas 😛

I kinda got the impression that he taught experienced players,sorry but I'm new to the game :erm:

Actually I don't do any teaching at the moment, but I can certainly recommend a teacher in Southampton.

I'll just check who is still around that I know and I'll let you know.

There is of course our very own "Saxlicker", not sure he teaches???

I would be very grateful thanks Pete

Hi Dave,

I'm a music teacher and saxophonist. I just moved to the area from Manchester and I'm looking to take on some private tuition. If you are interested let me know and we can sort something out.

Hey there you go !

I don't feel qualified to teach...
I think I can steer anyone through the basics and away from many bad habits, tackle the rudiments of theroy and reading music ...but thats kind of where it stops. (In other words I bail out past grade 4 or 5).

That said, your influences are right up my alley but please explore Bens offer.
