Liverpool SAX Lessons
“Your one stop for all things saxophone related”
Hi! I'm Liverpool based saxophonist Bob Whittaker and have over 30 years experience in playing, teaching, selling and repairing saxophones in the Merseyside area. Whether you're an absolute beginner, a returning player or want some specific technique improvements etc. I can help!
Saxophone lessons are one to one and taught from my teaching studio within Curly Music School (Ist floor of Curly Music Shop, Liverpool City Centre).
I can help you with all aspects of playing, give advice on choosing a saxophone or mouthpiece and so on and also service and repair your instrument should anything go wrong - everything under one roof!
Bob Whittaker
I have been playing saxophone for some 30 odd years and been teaching for over 20. We can go right from the beginning and getting your first note out to preparing for exams, performance and so on.
I tailor lessons to suit each individual and help devise a fun, manageable but effective practice plan for you so you really improve and enjoy it!
My mission is to enthuse you to practice and get a great sound using correct saxophone technique - if you sound good you'll love playing!
If at some stage you wish to take exams (music grades), I can prepare you for ABRSM classical or jazz and Trinity Guidhall.
An other benefit of my teaching is that I am also a director of Curly Woodwind Ltd and previously managed the Woodwind department at Rushworths Music so have 25 years experience in selling saxophones, accessories and repairs. Therefore I can really help give you advice on choosing an instrument, mouthpiece, reeds - anything at all and explain the differences between all products whether they be new or used, what repair costs might be - I also have pretty extensive knowledge on vintage instruments.
I have performed at various clubs, events and festivals in the UK - Manchester Jazz Fest, Gateshead International Jazz Fest, Lancaster Jazz Fest, Liverpool Jazz Fest, Marsden Jazz Fest, Birmingham Mostly Jazz Fest, Matt & Phreds Jazz Club, Southport Jazz Fest, Scarborough Jazz Club, Bradford JATP Jazz Club, Buxton International Fest ..... I'm currently a Jazz North ambassador and signed recording artist for Anti Social Jazz Records
