Teaching saxophone isn't just a profession for me; it's a passion and a calling. Drawing from my experience as a professional saxophonist, I've crafted an approach that inspires confidence and fosters growth in each of my students. In our lessons, I prioritise creating an immersive and engaging learning environment. Typically, I offer lessons that run for about 60 to 90 minutes — an optimal duration that allows us to delve deep into the material while maintaining focus and energy. Throughout our time together, I will weave together a variety of activities, exercises, and resources to keep the learning experience dynamic and enjoyable. As a graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and an ABRSM Scholar with a background in performance and education, I bring both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise to the table. Whether you're a beginner eager to explore the vast world of saxophone or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, my lessons are tailored to meet your individual goals and aspirations. I firmly believe that music has the power to enrich our lives and bring people together, and teaching saxophone allows me to share that joy and passion with others. So if you're ready to embark on a musical journey of discovery and growth, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's make beautiful music together!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Ivan.
Perfect! After a few weeks of self-teaching saxophone, Ivan helped strip things back to the fundamentals in a way that immediately made sense. The one-hour session flew by, and his clear explanations and attention to detail were exactly what I needed to properly understand the basics.
He corrected my embouchure, breathing and finger positioning, which made an immediate difference. I left the session feeling much more confident in what I should be focusing on.
I’d recommend him to anyone starting out or trying to build a solid foundation, and I’m looking forward to continuing to develop my playing with his guidance.Perfect! Brilliant. Recommended any time

I studied saxophone with Ivan for about 2 years before I moved cities. He was incredibly supportive and brought my playing to a next level. Highly recommended!
Ivan is a fantastic tutor, as he is easy going and really knowledgeable. He is very accessible and has a way of making difficult things, easy to understand. He speaks clearly and slowly and is very patient without being patronising. I find social things like this, can be quite scary. But Ivan instantly put me at ease, and we had a great time. I highly recommend Ivan, he is the epic sax guy!
Ivan is incredibly relaxed and clearly very knowledgeable. Far more than I can comprehend. It makes for good learning for me as he's always able to give me nuggets of wisdom. I always feel better educated after lessons with him.
Ivan has helped our daughters achieve great marks on their ABRSM Piano Grade 8 exams and provided them with great support through their learning process
