SAXOPHONE TEACHERS

Phillippa Lasocki

I am a dedicated and diligent teacher with eight years of experience and a degree in music from the University of Oxford. I draw on the pedagogical approach of Paul Harris as well as the Suzuki and Kodaly musical education methods to deliver lessons that are practical, varied and ear-focussed. Pieces remain the core musical activity in my lessons and any technical exercises, such as scales, are only introduced in the context of actual music.

I maintain a flexible and open approach that can be shaped according to the particular needs of the specific pupil. For instance, I cater for different learning and processing styles by presenting and demonstrating music from all angles (eg aurally, visually, kinetically and theoretically). Additionally, I ensure pupils stay motivated by letting them choose pieces they would like to learn and not insisting on the pursuit of grades. For more information, contact me for my website address.
