Come and join us for a fun day of playing and learning about the saxophone with tutors Alistair Parnell, Nicola Pennill and Keri Degg.
• Learn new skills in tutored sessions
• Play together in small or larger groups
• Attend as a preformed quartet for expert advice and coaching
• Meet fellow saxophone players
Suitable for all levels - if you can read music a little bit but aren't very confident it's the perfect environment to try playing with others. On the other hand, if you are looking for a challenge we provide that too! We try and match similar abilities wherever possible. It's a great way to meet fellow players and learn new skills. Parallel sessions ensure that there is sufficient challenge for all.
- The day is open to all. However if you are under 16 and would like to attend please contact us before booking to ensure we can cater for you.

Lessons
At previous Sax Days, players have been keen to get answers to particular technical issues, get guidance on how to practice, or just have a chance to get feedback on their playing. Following the popularity of this option last year we are offering a limited number of short lesson slots which will be allocated on first-come, first served basis. On the booking form please indicate if you would like to take advantage of this and indicate the broad area you would like to focus on. This will help us plan the day.
Tutored Group Sessions
On the day there will also be additional workshop sessions,
