How to Teach the Saxophone

An eight part course given by Yamaha performing artist and Vandoren performing artist Sarah Markham.

This eight part project is aimed at woodwind teachers wanting to develop their understanding of how to teach the saxophone. Sessions include thoughts on sound, mechanics, fingering, practise methods, articulation, vibrato, musical language and contemporary techniques.

Each section begins with a break-down of how to introduce students at different levels of experience to a concept: from a complete beginner through to subtle nuanced teaching for a more advanced student.

This workshop can be done online or in person, in a group or individual session.
