I started sax at 73 and your lessons have already helped me play so much better. I got to play in front of an audience of over 100 people and from the applause I think they enjoyed it!
John Whitt, Oregon USA
I'm very impressed by the structure of your lessons, and how you have created a worldwide community for us. This is a big advantage for newcomers to saxophone. I have myself spent over 30 years teaching adults and I want to compliment you on your excellent courses!

Take Your Sax to the
Next Level – the Easy Way
The smooth sound of hitting the perfect note. The effortless cool of
playing a solo. The pure thrill of entertaining friends and family (or
captivated audiences). There’s nothing like mastering the sax…
Have you been dreaming of playing your first note for some time?
Dusting off the horn after a few (more like many!) years off? Or been
around the block and ready to become a true entertainer?
Whatever your starting point, you’re in the perfect place to take your sax playing to the next level via the most engaging and interactive way to learn. And do it without shelling out thousands for music academy, costly private lessons or bamboozling YouTube videos.
Play with Confidence
No Matter Your Starting Point
Struggling to get started? Experiencing a bit of performance anxiety? Hit a plateau? We know what it’s like… it can be excruciatingly frustrating. All you want is to play the sax like you hear in your favourite songs – or how you imagine in your mind.
From the basics of embouchure, to playing at speed and the pinnacles of altissimo, Sax School teaches you the skills and confidence to be the sax player you want to be.
No heavy textbooks, mind-numbing theory or tedious lesson plans. Just incredibly effective, engaging, ‘play-as-you-watch’ lessons that always keep you motivated to learn.
Learn to Improvise
Like the All-Time Greats
Sure, playing sax off sheet music is incredibly satisfying. But improvising and going where the music takes you – that’s the ultimate goal for just about every sax player.
With Sax School, we break down the art of improvisation, teaching you the step-by-step techniques your favourite pros use to improvise at a moment’s notice.
In no time, you can learn to ditch the sheet music and play by memory and ear, setting off on an improvised musical journey anytime you pick up the sax.
Play the Songs You Love
& Own the Stage
What’s your jam… Blues, ska, jazz, pop, gospel? Whatever lights up your earbuds, you can learn it with Sax School.
Choose the tunes you love from a near-endless selection of songs – it’s the music you actually want to play, not what a teacher tells you to play.
Play all-time favourites for yourself, friends and family – or own the stage as part of a pub or community band. Even lay down your own recording. After all, what sax player doesn’t dream of that?
Learn at Your Own Pace in
Your Own Place
With Sax School, you learn on-demand from your living room, bedroom or garage. All it takes is a laptop, tablet or smartphone. Not just amazingly effective, but convenient too.

“Nigel is by far the most
engaging educator”
Hi, I’m Nigel.
It’s no exaggeration to say playing the sax is my life.
For the past 25 years, I’ve played saxophone all over the world in symphony orchestras, clubs, theatres, and festivals and in award-winning West End shows.
You might have also heard my sax sounds on top-rating TV shows like “24“ and “Bones“.
Fair to say, I’ve learned a lot about playing saxophone – and teaching it. Now I’m sharing it all with you.

Play at your church every weekend…?
Play to friends and family, watching them light up with amazement…?
Record your own music…?
Or simply enjoy the personal satisfaction of playing and improvising on your own…?
Whatever your goal, it’s possible day, weeks or months from now. With a simple decision you can make right here, today…
I promise, if you stick to what I teach in Sax School, you can get from where you are right now to where you want to be and finally become the sax player you’ve always
dreamed of being.
