About Anthony
- What kind of experience do you have? I have been a professional musician/teacher all my working life, running a variety of rock bands in London in the '80s, then on the jazz circuit, including TV appearances on Wogan with the Paul Turner Big Band. I have considerable experience, including orchestral and pit-work for musicals. I currently run a function jazz band and various recording projects (see website). I also have qualifications and some years experience in TEFL at home and abroad. - Where and with whom did you train? My best teacher ever was Haydn Robinson, former principal trombonist with the Black Dyke Mills band, and a formidable arranger and Dance band leader as well. - Do you belong to any professional organisations? I belong to the Musicians' Union. - Tell me about some of your current students. I have a wide variety of ages, from junior school beginners to A Level/Grade 8 students, as well as adults at all stages, some of whom have gone on to public performance. Although I tend not to work exclusively with formal exam curricula, those students who have studied for grade exams with me have always done very well, including one who gained a full music scholarship.

A big hello to all clarinet and saxophone enthusiasts. - Which subject(s) do you teach? I teach Clarinet and Saxophone at all levels including adult beginners/returners. I've been doing this privately and on and off at various educational establishments, e.g. Godalming College, Devon College, Performing Arts, for decades, and so I'm very quick at identifying what may be holding you back and what the next best thing to look at is. I play in my own band, Anthony's AllStars Cool Jazz, as well as various other local groups and Big Bands. I also do classical clarinet recitals, and wrote a book and CD entitled "The Pro Sax Companion", endorsed by John Dankworth. I also run ad-hoc workshop groups to introduce my students to group playing - both classical and improvisational. These groups also cover theory in a very practical way. Should students be interested in taking grades, I can either work alongside schools for those wanting to sit grade exams with them, concentrating more on technique and performance in these situations, or I can enter and prepare students for exams independently. The element of enjoyment of the instrument remains central in either case. I am educated to degree level (not music), and have played since my pre-teens. - How much do you charge? My cost per hour is £40. I also provide a small number of half-hour lessons upon request. - Where do you teach? I teach at my house. I am just off the A3 at Milford, Godalming and 1 mile from Milford Station (Waterloo/Portsmouth harbour). - When are you available? Monday to Thursday day and evening, Friday daytime. I do not normally teach at the weekend, apart from Saturday morning workshops (this is to avoid clashing with band gigs). - Which ages and levels do you teach? I teach all ages/levels. You will find me enthusiastic and encouraging about both your musical development and your continued enjoyment of playing as you progress.
