I am a middle weight saxophonist ie. not great, not bad. I have been learning for 4 years or so.
I think I am "perfect" for very early students that may or may not want to learn the saxophone.
I know, the bad and the good with saxophones - and I can absolutely point you in the better direction after me.
One of the major challenges I had was with the complexity with learning, what to do first, - does it matter? do I learn scales, do I learn chords, do I learn notes.... if I want to play it a band vs. play on youtube - what should I do first?
I can definitely help you speed this process up and teach you about the instrument and the challenges you might face with cheap saxophones (china) vs. expensive vs. mouthpieces vs reeds et. al.
It's not that complicated, but it just needs to be explained clearly.

Jazz Lessons in Barcelona.
Don't wait anymore and start your new hobby!

If you love music and you feel the inner urge to learn it, I can help you out. I can teach students from all levels to play the saxophone. From jazz style to classical.

After years of studying and practicing, I've come to the conclusion that the best way to learn music is by transcribing and singing. Music is like language, so I start by teaching how to connect the voice with the instrument. In a playful way, I will introduce you to harmony, teach you how to read music, compose your own tunes, and improvise. Side by side with theory according to your musical taste and preferences.

I've been learning music since I was 3 years old and recently I've graduated with a Master's Degree at the Conservatorium Van Amsterdam. Previously, I studied at ESMUC (Barcelona), Kunst Uni Graz (Graz), and Temple University (Philadelphia). I've been a professional performer since 5 years ago and I've performed in several countries around the world.

For a year now, I have been teaching not only the basic methods and resources of the clarinet, but also complementing the students' training by teaching notions of musical theory, ear development and improvisation techniques that I consider fundamental for a musician.

Whether you are interested in starting to play the clarinet or saxophone, are an amateur composer who wants to understand how harmony and musical form work, or have a classical music background and want to expand your horizons by gaining tools from jazz and modern music, I would be happy to help you!
