 My aim is to get as many people to enjoy playing the saxophone and clarinet as possible!  Whether you are a complete beginner or wish to upgrade, please call me to discuss your requirements.

If you can travel to Reading, Berkshire, I offer a free one hour saxophone or clarinet lesson to help you get started.  I will customise the lesson to your requirements.  As I work from home, you will have "one to one" time to try the instruments in a relaxed, friendly environment.  Further lessons are available for £12 per half an hour. Don't worry if you have never played an instrument before.  Most people who come for the lesson have never played an instrument before and can’t read music. 

Option 1 for complete beginners to music:

By the end of the lesson, you will be able to:

 1. play several simple tunes including "When The Saints" and Fly Me To The Moon (my personal favourite!)

2. read music;

3. look after your saxophone (assembly, cleaning and ongoing maintenance);

4.  try different makes and models including the Esprit and Yamaha alto saxophones and tenors if you wish (not recommended for children under 13-14 due to the weight).

The following two emails are from customers who have recently had the lesson.  Please click on the "Feedback" button above for more testimonials.

Hi Richard,

Just a quick thank you for all your help today, Jake (9 yrs old) was absolutely overjoyed with his lesson and his sax.

He has already had the neighbours in for a recital and been to my brothers for a showing off session there, I can't recommend you highly enough. (But I will give it a good go) Jake was captivated from the moment he entered your home, and I was amazed at how much you taught him in such a short space of time. I will be putting your cards up far and wide.

Thanks again,

B. F.

Hi Richard,

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say a huge thank you for your time on Monday. I was like an excited child before and after the lesson, and it's made the world of difference - no sore lip, a bottom C and some great stuff to work on. The Pink Panther is in the bag too, brilliant. You have a wonderfully relaxed yet encouraging way of teaching.
 
Anyways thanks again from the both of us.
 

Take care

Option 2 for existing musicians changing to sax or upgrading sax players:

Try as many different saxophones as you like.  I always have over 60 different makes and models in stock of alto, tenor, soprano and baritone saxophones .  Tell me in advance what your aim is and I will customise the session accordingly (ie you can try different reeds, mouthpieces, saxophones etc).

Which saxophone should I start with?

If you are a complete beginner to music and plan to play on your own for pleasure, I recommend the Esprit or Evette alto for £15 per month to hire.  These are designed for beginners and are ideal to learn on.  However, if your aim is to play with others in bands etc or you have played an instrument before, you may wish to consider the Yamaha YAS-275E ( £24 per month) as the tuning is better which is important when you are playing with others.  You would only need to upgrade from the Yamaha if you start pIaying professionally.  The hire scheme is completely flexible.  Many beginners start with an Esprit to keep the cost down and upgrade to a Yamaha on purchase.  The rental paid on the Esprit would count towards the price of the Yamaha.

Special Offer:  Hire any instrument before 31/07/09 and you have the option to hire an accessory pack half price.  This means that you can hire an alto sax and all of the accessories below for just £20 per month (£15pm for the sax and £5 for the accessory pack). All rental paid during the hire term is deducted from the price of the instrument (and accessories) if you do decide to buy.  There is no obligation to buy at any time, just have fun for a couple of months! 

The accessory pack includes everything you need to get started:-

1. Tuition book;

2. Jools Holland tuition DVD;

3. Saxophone stand (you will play it more if it is out ready to play!)

4. Padded neck strap (makes the sax feel 50% lighter);

5. Music stand (helps posture when reading from the tutor book) or a metronome /tuner;

If you prefer, you can hire them separately for £2 per month each.

The minimum hire term is just 2 months.  This offer enables you to have everything you need to give you the best chance of success for without committing to buying the sax and accessories.   If you have a music stand already, I will include a metronome / tuner or a case upgrade etc instead.

PRICE MATCH: I guarantee to offer the cheapest price for new Yamaha and Trevor James instruments in the UK.  If you can find one cheaper from an authorised UK dealer (with the full guarantee) I will beat the price or  add some free accessories.  All instruments purchased from me come with the option to sell it back to me for a guaranteed price (from £10 per month depreciation).  Please see the table below for more information.

 

I offer a free one hour clarinet or saxophone lesson to help get you started.   If you can't travel to Reading, Berkshire, home delivery is available for £9 via DHL couriers. I will send you a voucher for the free lesson which you can use if you are travelling to Reading in the future.

Prices include VAT, carry case, neck strap, 3 cleaning cloths, two 1.5 Rico or Vandoren strength reeds (ideal for beginners or others of your choice), cork grease and mouthpiece pad (second-hand instruments include 2 new reeds, new mouthpiece and 3 new cleaning cloths).

Why hire or buy from me?

I am a clarinet and saxophone teacher and specialise in the instruments I know about; I always have over 60 different makes and models of saxophones in stock.

I offer a free one hour trial lesson with no obligation to buy or hire.

 I check and play every instrument (using my own mouthpiece) to ensure that it is perfectly set up.  Ask other suppliers if they take the time to remove the manufacturers corks and play every note on the instrument before sale! 

I will match any hire or purchase price and add 3 extra reeds free if you find the same new  instrument cheaper elsewhere on the same terms;

I include over £54 worth of essential accessories free with every saxophone:

.  two 1.5 strength reeds;

.  pull through cleaning cloth;

.  sax neck swab;

I started playing the clarinet when I was a child and the saxophone soon after.  I enjoy playing both instruments in many bands, including Concert and Big Bands.  Since 1990 I have been the Musical Director of the Southlake Concert Band. 

My students range in age from 6 to 86, and I run quartet groups for various abilities and ages.  I initially started hiring instruments to my students because many of them were having trouble finding hire agreements that were both flexible and affordable. 

In 1996 I decided to offer instrument hire on a wider basis. The minimum period of hire is just 2 months; you may then either return the instrument or continue to hire it on a monthly basis for up to 6 months. All rental payments (and the deposit) are deducted from the purchase price if you buy the instrument. You may also transfer this discount to any other instrument purchased from me. This allows you to hire a cheaper instrument with the option to upgrade to a better quality instrument such as a Yamaha later. You may also change from alto to tenor/soprano, clarinet to sax etc.

Example hire for a 2 month old (as new) Evette/Esprit alto  saxophone (includes a new mouthpiece, 2 new reeds and new cleaning cloths)

Purchase price of sax =  £359, (refundable) deposit = £90

 Payment No. Amount Credit Balance to buy Notes
1 £15 £15 £254 If you buy the instrument any time during the
first six months 
all the rental 
paid will be 
deducted from 
the purchase price.

 

2 £15 £15 £239
3 £15 £15 £224
4 £15 £15 £209
5 £15 £15 £194
6 £15 £15 £179

After the 2 month minimum rental term, you may either return it or continue to hire it on a monthly basis for up to six months when you may either:-

1.  Return the instrument (and the deposit would be refunded), 

2. Buy the instrument for £179 or spread the balance over 3 monthly payments of £65 or 6 monthly payments of £35.

3. Transfer the £180 paid (deposit and rental paid) to any other instrument purchased from me (i.e. upgrade to a Trevor James "The Horn" or Yamaha, change to tenor / soprano sax or clarinet etc.)


If you can afford to buy the sax outright, I will discount the price to £289 saving £70 and I will include a free tuition book, Jools Holland tuition DVD, saxophone stand , padded neck strap and either a music stand or metronome /tuner worth £85.  However, you have the option to sell it back to me  for the same price less £10 per month (e.g. £259 within 3 months, £249 within 4 months £239 within 5 months etc) if you decide that playing the sax isn't for you (or your son or daughter decides that they prefer playing football etc!!).  The minimum term is 3 months, there is no maximum term.


If you can afford to buy the new Yamaha YAS-275E alto sax outright, I will discount the price to £670.   You then have the option to sell it back to me  for the same price less £20 per month (e.g. £610 refund within 3 months, £590 within 4 months, £570 within 5 months etc) if you decide that playing the sax isn't for you (or your son or daughter decides that they prefer playing football etc!!) The minimum term is 3 months, there is no maximum term.

Other instruments are available for hire (or outright purchase).  Please click on the "hire rates" or "buyback option" buttons at the top left of this page for further details.

Please feel free to e-mail or call me if you wish to discuss the options further.
