The lessons are for any player, regardless of age and experience, so they're also suitable for you!

About the saxophone lessons

The lessons are completely adjusted to your wishes and learning style and hence I'll teach each student differently. Some students like to learn the instrument whilst reading music, some students like to learn new tunes by ear. There's only one goal in the lesson, and that's to make you a better player! Although off course we'll discuss everything, there's space for your personal learning preferences. We'll search for the best way to learn the instrument whilst having lots of fun!

Quality and reliance

The teacher Yoran Aarssen has a lot of experience with teaching and offers the quality you can expect from a good saxophone teacher. Principles like intonation, how to blow the horn, timing, position of the mouth, sound and fingering techniques will be discussed frequently. And have you mastered all of this? Then there's even more interesting stuff to talk about! Ever heared of strange rhythms, irregular meters, eartraining, swinging 8'th notes and improvisation?

Young and enthousiastic

Yoran is a young and enthousiastic teacher. Next to teaching, he is also active as a performing saxophonist. Frequently, he is to be found at the major (inter)national Jazz- and popfestivals, he's touring the Dutch theaters with the productions Swinging Harlem and I'm a Soulman, he played in the Ziggo Dome (with a capacity of 17.000 people) with the Ladies of Soul and he appears on radio and television for shows like "De Wereld Draait door", Radio 6 and Radio 4.
