asked questions

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

Your first lesson is your opportunity to connect with your tutor and make sure they're the right fit for your learning style. If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, we'll find you another tutor for free. We're committed to helping you find the perfect match.

Do I need to own my own saxophone for online lessons?

Yes, for Grade 8 level study, you will need your own saxophone (soprano, alto, tenor, or baritone) in good working order. You'll also need a reliable internet connection and a device with a webcam and microphone.

How much do Grade 8 saxophone lessons cost?

The cost of lessons varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can browse tutors to find one that fits your budget.

How do I find the right Grade 8 saxophone tutor for me?

You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialize in advanced grades and specific styles of music. Read their profiles, check their reviews from other students, and watch their introductory videos to get a sense of their teaching style before booking.

Are these tutors experienced with the ABRSM or Trinity Grade 8 syllabus?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in exam preparation and explicitly state which exam boards (like ABRSM, Trinity, etc.) they have experience with in their profiles. You can find a tutor who can guide you through every part of the syllabus.

How do online saxophone lessons work?

Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, a digital whiteboard, and file sharing. It's designed to make learning seamless. Your tutor can hear you play clearly and provide instant, expert feedback on your technique and musicality.

How long should a Grade 8 saxophone lesson be?

For an advanced level like Grade 8, we typically recommend lessons of 60 minutes. This provides enough time to warm up, work on technical exercises like altissimo, delve into your pieces, and discuss musical theory and interpretation.

What should I prepare for my first lesson?

For your first lesson, it's helpful to have your saxophone ready, along with the sheet music for the pieces you're currently working on. Be prepared to discuss your goals, what you find challenging, and what you want to achieve in your exam.

How do you vet your saxophone tutors?

We have a strict vetting process. Every tutor is interviewed and must prove their expertise and teaching ability. We accept only 1 in 8 applicants, ensuring you're learning from the best in the field.

What other materials will I need besides my saxophone?

You will need your Grade 8 music books, a music stand, reeds, and potentially a metronome and tuner. Your tutor can recommend specific additional resources, such as technical exercise books, that will help you progress.

Can a tutor help me with aural tests and sight-reading?

Yes, definitely. Our tutors are experienced in preparing students for all components of the Grade 8 exam, including the often-tricky sight-reading and aural test sections. They can provide targeted exercises to build your confidence.
