Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

What if I don't click with my saxophone tutor?

Your first lesson is covered by our First Lesson Guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied, we'll find you another tutor for free. We want to ensure you find the perfect teacher to guide your musical journey.

Do I need to own a saxophone to start lessons?

While owning one is ideal for regular practice, many music shops offer rental schemes for beginners. This is a great, low-cost way to start without a big investment. Your tutor can advise on reputable brands and models.

How much do online saxophone lessons cost?

The cost of a lesson varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can browse tutor profiles to see their individual rates, which are clearly listed. Many offer a discount for block bookings.

Are online lessons suitable for an absolute beginner?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in teaching beginners from the ground up. They provide crucial, one-to-one guidance on the fundamentals like assembling the instrument, posture, and developing a proper embouchure right from the start.

How effective are online lessons for a physical instrument like the saxophone?

They are highly effective. With modern webcams and microphones, your tutor can clearly see your posture, hand position, and embouchure, and hear your tone with great clarity, allowing for immediate and precise feedback.

What will I learn in my first saxophone lesson?

Your first lesson will typically cover the basics: how to assemble and hold the saxophone correctly, proper breathing techniques, how to form your embouchure, and how to produce your very first notes.

How long will it take to learn to play a song?

This varies for every student, but with consistent practice and expert guidance, most beginners can play simple melodies within a few weeks. A tutor helps you progress much faster than learning alone.

What equipment do I need besides a saxophone?

You will need a few essential accessories: reeds (your tutor can recommend the right strength), a neck strap, cleaning swabs, and of course, a device with a stable internet connection, camera, and microphone for your online lesson.

How do I choose the right saxophone tutor for me?

Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other students, and check their experience and musical specialities. You can filter by genre, like jazz or classical, to find a perfect match for your musical goals.

How often should I have lessons?

For beginners, a weekly lesson is highly recommended to build momentum and ensure you're forming good habits. As you advance, you might adjust the frequency based on your goals and practice schedule.

I'm not a beginner. Can I find a tutor for advanced techniques?

Yes. Many of our tutors are professional musicians who specialize in advanced topics like jazz improvisation, music theory, advanced breathing techniques (like circular breathing), and exploring the altissimo register.
