💬 What Our Students Say

“I’ve been attending Sweet Symphony School of Music for almost 2 and a half years and I love it. I started with the alto saxophone and have moved onto the piano. I can now read music as long as it’s not too complicated. I can play tunes. I am quite pleased with my progress. I wish I’d started learning a lot sooner. A special mention to Matthew, my tutor, he has terrific patience and is very talented in his own right. I would recommend Sweet Symphony School of Music to anyone.”

❓Saxophone Lesson FAQs❓

What style of music do you teach?

What style would you like to learn?! We tailor our lessons to the requirements of each student, so if you’re interested in jazz, we’ll teach you jazz!

Do you offer saxophone exams?

Yes, we encourage all of our students to sit music exams when they reach a suitable standard, although these aren’t compulsory. Sweet Symphony is a registered Trinity exam centre, so students sit their exams right here in the Sweet Symphony Studio in familiar surroundings.

Can you help me purchase an instrument?

We can certainly advise you with regards to what to look for in a saxophone, but we don’t currently buy instruments on behalf of students.

Do you teach both alto and tenor saxophone?

Yes, we can offer lessons in both alto and tenor saxophone.

At what age can my child start lessons?

We can offer saxophone lessons from age 5 using the fantastic Nuvo jSax! (Read about the great Nuvo instruments in our blog post) Older students learning alto sax would be best starting from age 7 or 8, but if it’s tenor sax you’re interested in then we’d suggest waiting until around age 10, purely for the size of the instrument.

Can I try the lessons before committing?

Yes! We offer a one-off trial lesson so you can see what you’re signing up for. To sign up for a trial, click here. But remember: you will need an instrument of your own.
