A weekend of music-making on our residential saxophone course in the heart of Scotland.

 

Tutors: Mike Brogan and Catherine Evison

​​​​

 

THE COURSE

​

Our saxophone course is a relaxed, informal opportunity to explore new music and meet other like-minded players, under the expert guidance of our professional tutors. The focus of our weekend will be on performance and ensemble playing, so you can expect to take part in a range of groups, from quintets, quartets, and trios, to full saxophone choirs.

 

Our extensive library of music and new arrangements covers a range of styles, including classical, rock, swing, latin, and more. Sessions will run throughout the day and into the evening, with time for workshops, musicianship training, improvising, and a wealth of technique tips, all delivered in a fun, friendly atmosphere.

​

All music will be provided - you just need to bring your saxophone(s), a music stand, and a pencil!

​​​​​​​

​​Arrive: 10am on Friday 6th March
