"Finding a teacher like Paul has been absolutely amazing for me, during the course of my lessons I have made huge progress...all my family and friends have commented on how quickly I have been able to start playing the instrument to a decent standard"

Getting Started?
Learning to play an instrument can be one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. Whether you're taking up a new hobby or fulfilling a lifelong ambition to play the sax. When guided properly, I believe that everyone can learn to play and enjoy the music they love. It's never too late to start.
Play the songs you love.
Whether you'd like to learn to play Jazz, Rock, Ska, Pop or Classical pieces. No more boring tunes that you don't connect with. Your musical goals and tastes are the central focus of the lessons. When you learn to play tunes you love you look forward to practicing and playing and you learn faster, stay motivated and have more fun. Learn to play the way you have always wanted to.
Want to learn improvise?
Learning to improvise can be incredibly fun and rewarding as it frees you from just reading sheet music. You will be able to put your own spin on famous tunes, take solos on jazz standards, as well as playing funk, pop or ska classics. You will be guided step by step and very quickly you will feel confident playing tunes from memory, joining in at jam sessions, or just enjoy playing something new each time you pick up your sax.
Preparing for an exam?
I can help you prepare and enter you for ABRSM graded music exams for both jazz and classical styles. These can be great goals to set and give you confidence in your ability. I have 100% pass rate with my students, many of them achieving the highest mark of distinction. These achievements look great for school, university and job applications, and demonstrate creativity and self discipline.
Paul’s saxophone classes are very well structured and very fun/enjoyable to follow. For each class, Paul prepares excellent supplementary material and all these are shared in a very user-friendly format. I’ve been following his classes for about a month now and have already experienced a major improvement in my playing as well as in my theoretical knowledge. And all this comes at a very affordable cost. What more can one want!

“Paul is an excellent teacher; his teaching style is laid back and makes it easy to understand. I like to read music, learn music theory, play by ear and improvise and Paul’s tuition is helping me to make great strides to get there with all of them. In the relatively short time that I’ve been following Paul’s tuition, I’ve seen a significant improvement in my playing. Thanks Paul!”

“Paul Riley's website is for me, number one among the best saxophone sites I've ever seen, full of exceptional quality content to which you can have full access with a modest monthly subscription. But above all, I like his teaching style: very structured and well-engineered in which he guides the student gradually step by step. The possibility then to have Zoom lessons personally with Paul to deepen these topics completes it's didactic offer and makes it really unique.
