Learn Music with Cooper: Sax, Flute, Clarinet, Bass Guitar, Harmonica

From 66 C$ /h

I teach saxophone, clarinet, flute, harmonica, and bass guitar online(virtually).
I think it's very important from the beginning to find your individual voice on your instrument. Technique is important, but it will be taught simultaneously with artistic voice. One of the great things about music is being to express your version of yourself on your instrument. What's the point in learning scales if you can't play the song you want to play? From day one, we will focus on all aspects of learning, and of music, at the same time. I'm super patient and I love to teach, and I'll cater my teaching style to the individual student. I look forward to teaching you!

About me:
I started playing music when I was I ten. I was awarded a partial scholarship to the University of Idaho's Lionel Hampton School of Music where I majored in Classical Saxophone Performance, where I won the Outstanding Jazz Soloist award (2004). I then received a partial scholarship to the Berklee College of Music and studied there with a principal instrument of saxophone, and graduated with a degree in Contemporary Writing and Production in 2009. I've spent the last ten years performing full-time, on cruise ships (Carnival, Princess, Holland-America, Celebrity, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, The World), land tours (iLa Mawana national tour), theatre productions (For The Record: The Brat Pack, Broadway's After Midnight), and independent bands (Samsaya Trio, Vivian Clement Quartet). My performing experience has taken me to 70 countries and all seven continents. I've self-recorded and self- produced multiple albums. I've been featured as an arranger in many settings, including Robert McFletcher's LOVE. I have three of my own shows (A Public Saxophone and other Bedtime Stories, Just Sax, and CBSAXLIVE). While I studied saxophone as my primary instrument, I also play flute, clarinet, harmonica and bass guitar at a professional level. My degree is in composition and recording/production, so I would love to help anyone getting started in that area. I also teach music theory for those interested in learning theory.

I enjoy teaching both harp and flute at my studio in Worthing and also offer lessons online. I studied at The Royal Academy of Music, London graduating with a first-class Master's degree and an LRAM music teaching qualification. Learning an instrument is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience and I teach students of all ages and abilities from complete beginner to advanced levels. Music theory will be integrated into the lessons and you will have the opportunity to take part in performances and work towards graded exams if you wish to do so or just play for fun! Each lesson will be tailored to the individual pupil’s needs, level, and style. I teach a wide variety of musical styles including Classical, Celtic, Pop, Jazz, and more!

Hello! I am a professional music educator with 16 years of experience dedicated to making music an indispensable part of life rather than just a lesson. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 1,000 students individually, guiding hundreds of them to successfully enter Conservatories and Fine Arts High Schools. 🏆

My philosophy is simple: Music is loved first, then learned. I prioritize building a deep connection between the student and their instrument. Whether you want to master the Piano, Violin, Guitar, or Oud, I offer a holistic approach that combines technical skill, ear training, and rhythm development.

I don’t believe in rote memorization. My teaching system is based on logic and understanding the "mathematics" of music. By simplifying complex music theory and "Makam" knowledge into practical and engaging methods, I ensure my students reach a stage-ready level in as little as one year. 🎼

In my online studio, I provide a high-quality learning experience using multi-camera angles and professional sound setups that rival face-to-face lessons. Whether you are a preschooler, a young aspiring artist, or an adult beginner, I create personalized, goal-oriented roadmaps to help you reach your musical dreams. 🌍

Let’s start this journey together and build a solid foundation that lasts a lifetime

As a clarinetist, teacher, and motivator, I offer lessons to adult students who have played the clarinet in the past, then neglected it, and now wish to pick it up again. I've prepared a refresher course, focusing on clarinet playing, rhythm, and ear training. Everything you need to get back into the swing of things!
My classes are held online :).
It was a pleasure, Sophie

Private saxophone lessons in Copenhagen with professional saxophonist and experienced teacher Mark Hurrell.

Lessons are individually tailored to your musical interests, experience and goals. Whether you’re picking up the saxophone for the first time, returning after a break, or an advanced player looking to develop your playing further, we’ll create a clear and enjoyable path for your progress.

Lessons can cover jazz, pop, improvisation, sound, technique, reading, ear training, repertoire and performance, with an emphasis on making music from the very beginning.

I have taught students from 5 to 85 years old, from complete beginners through to musicians preparing for conservatoire study and professional careers. I hold a Master’s degree in Music Performance and work professionally as a saxophonist, performing and recording internationally across a wide range of musical styles.

Lessons take place in my dedicated music studio in Valby, Copenhagen, with online lessons also available. Don’t have a saxophone yet? Instruments are available to rent, so you can get started without buying one straight away.

Most importantly, lessons should be something you look forward to. We’ll take your musical development seriously while keeping the atmosphere relaxed, encouraging and fun.

Kind and passionate, I adapt to all student profiles so that each technical and musical aspect can progress together. Psychological and physical well-being are two very important elements that we must work on together. I can make myself available for short periods to prepare for entrance exams to higher education institutions. Beginner students are welcome! Learning a musical instrument, whether professional or amateur, should remain a pleasure, which is why building self-confidence is an integral part of my lessons. Confidence is essential for success in competitions. (Fees are adjustable depending on the student's financial situation and motivation.)

Santiago tailors each flute lesson to the student's level and goals, from beginner to advanced musician. He combines a solid technique acquired through his training at the Teatro Colón and the Geneva University of Music with a progressive approach.

A typical lesson begins with a warm-up and technical work (breath control, embouchure, fingering, tone), primarily at the beginner level, followed by the study of a repertoire chosen together, and then exercises in musicality and interpretation. The goal is always to help the student progress while fostering the joy of playing.

Santiago teaches children, teenagers, and adults alike, whether they are preparing for an exam, wish to join an ensemble, or simply discover the flute. His strengths include a keen attention to sound, practical orchestral experience, and the ability to explain things clearly.

With these lessons, you will learn not only the technique of the instrument, but also how to play any genre you like. You will also learn how to improvise within a style if you wish. The lessons are fully adaptable to each student.

Whether you are picking up the clarinet for the first time, looking to improve your playing, or preparing for an audition or performance, the lessons will be tailored to your individual level and goals.

We can work on sound production, breathing, embouchure, articulation, finger technique, intonation, musical phrasing, and repertoire. For more advanced students, lessons can also focus on orchestral excerpts, audition preparation, solo repertoire, and developing greater confidence and consistency in performance.

I believe that good technique should help you play more naturally and expressively, rather than make playing feel complicated. I therefore pay close attention to finding efficient and comfortable solutions for each student, while encouraging them to develop their own sound and musical ideas.

Students of all levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced players. Lessons are adapted to each student’s needs, pace, and musical interests.

I offer flute lessons in English for adults, beginners and intermediate players in Ghent and online.

Whether you are starting from the beginning, returning to the flute after a break, or looking to develop your existing skills, lessons are adapted to your individual goals and interests.

Alongside classical flute technique and repertoire, I also work with improvisation, ear training, contemporary music and extended techniques. My aim is to help students develop a solid technical foundation while also becoming more confident, creative and independent musicians.

With over 10 years of experience in flute teaching and a background in contemporary music and performance, I welcome students who want to learn in a relaxed but focused environment.
