About Me
Hello, my name is Elliot, and I am a passionate saxophonist, pianist, and music tutor based in Nairobi, Kenya.
I offer private lessons in piano, saxophone, and music theory for students of all levels — from complete beginners to intermediate learners looking to improve their technique, confidence, and musicality.
My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and personalized to each student’s goals and pace. I believe music should be enjoyable while still building strong fundamentals such as technique, rhythm, tone, ear training, sight reading, and performance confidence.
For piano students, I focus on:
* Finger technique and coordination
* Chords and scales
* Playing by ear and reading music
* Classical, contemporary, jazz, and popular music
For saxophone students, I focus on:
* Tone development
* Breathing and embouchure
* Scales and technique
* Improvisation and performance skills
* Building confidence for live playing
I also teach music theory in a simple and practical way that helps students truly understand music instead of memorizing concepts.
Alongside teaching, I actively perform at events and venues, which allows me to bring real-world musical experience into lessons.
My goal is to create a positive learning environment where students feel motivated, comfortable, and inspired to grow musically.
