Saxophone, Clarinet & Cello Lessons

Stephen teaches Saxophone, Clarinet and Cello to all ages, working with absolute beginners and up.  In addition, Stephen is happy to teach students who may wish to learn to play on any electric equivalent of the previous instruments, e.g. Electric Cello, Aerophone/Wind Synthesiser etc. Instrumental lessons can have different priorities depending on the person who is dedicated to learn.  For example, you may be interested in working towards Grades on your instrument and progressing in technical difficulty and goals.  Alternately you may wish to learn to play your instrument so you can then play some of your favourite songs.  Stephen will establish a curriculum that helps you reach your goals, whatever they may be.

Prices for lessons are as follows:
30 Minutes: £15.00
45 Minutes: £20.00
60 Minutes: £25.00


Stephen also has the facility to rent out instruments to anyone having lessons with him if they do not have their own or cant afford to buy one straight up. Saxophones, Clarinets and Cellos are available, however you must let Stephen know in advanced of your first lessson if you'd like to rent an instrument. You can also request a copy of the rental agreement in advance to see if it would be the right course of action for you. Renting an instrument has the benefit of paying the instrument off over time rather than all at once, which means you can afford a good quality instrument paid off over 24 months, rather than settle for a low quality instrument that is cheap, both in price and quality.

Lessons are offered either from Stephen’s home in Doncaster, South Yorkshire or online via video Chat using Zoom.

Stephen has a Triple Diploma in Music Practice and extensive gigging experience for over a decade, including: Soul Bands, Big Bands, Concert Bands, Woodwind Quartets, Solo Performances, Studio and Remote Recording Sessions, Orchestras and Pit Band work in shows and musicals.

"Stephen has been helping me for over a year now progress with the Saxophone and his input has been invaluable. Although I acknowledge that learning to play an instrument is a lifelong commitment, Stephen has undoubtedly helped me make quick progress while all, and more importantly, helping me to catch up with the years of neglected music theory. I would highly recommend Stephen as a teacher to anyone who is seriously interested in learning to play the Sax"
​- Marc Halbeisen

"Stephen is a very approachable and patient individual. He can explain the music in such terms that even beginners will understand. If you're looking to start a new hobby or brush up on your skills I would highly recommend Stephen"
​- Kim Coupe

"Stephen is a very competent and knowledgeable (and patient) tutor. I have not played the Saxophone for some years and he has been really helpful. I have also recently seen Stephen play in his own solo show at a local venue where he demonstrated his musicianship and I was very impressed!"
​- Malcom Brocklehurst


"Brilliant teacher. Really patient, motivating and encouraging. Goes the extra mile sending us videos so our daughter can see and hear what she is progressing towards. Stephen is our second cello teacher, the first was face to face and we were nervous about online lessons but best decision we have made."
- Jennifer Schroeder
