The hard truth for beginners...
DID YOU KNOW?
As many as 85% of adult beginners quit saxophone within the first 12 months.*
So, what causes this? ⤵
Confusing, contradictory advice from YouTube, Facebook groups & internet forums cause you to quickly become overwhelmed and kill your progress on the saxophone.
Reading sheet music is a fear for many adult beginners. To counter this, some courses avoid teaching from sheet music altogether, putting you at a huge disadvantage later on.
Some instructors only teach saxophone by forcing you to memorize tedious patterns, exercises and scales - sapping your enthusiasm and motivation to continue playing.
Private lessons are often inconvenient and expensive. The average annual cost of weekly lessons is $3744** (USD), and can also involve additional travel, cancellation and material costs.

Don't let your shiny new saxophone gather dust.
To succeed on saxophone, you need an affordable, convenient and proven system that works.
So, what's the solution?
Introducing:
SaxTuition Beginner Series
A complete package for learning the saxophone from scratch.
Who is the Beginner Series for?
#1
You've never played any instrument before
You’ve dreamt of learning the saxophone, but are worried that you’ve ‘missed the boat’ by not learning an instrument earlier in life. Musical terminology seems completely foreign, and you’re unsure if you’ll ever grasp sheet music.
#2
You're returning to sax after a long break
You learnt saxophone many years ago, but need an opportunity to rebuild your confidence and fundamentals. With the right instruction, all of that latent ability can come flooding back, and reignite your musical passion.
#3
You've played other instruments, not sax
You may play clarinet, guitar, piano, drums or another instrument - but you’ve never attempted the saxophone. Thanks to your prior experience, you can expect to progress quickly!
Do any of these sound like you?
If so, the Beginner Series is your ideal entry point to the saxophone.
Watch the first lesson
Lesson 1 of the Beginner Series is available on YouTube and has become one of the most trusted and rewatched saxophone lessons online, with nearly 500K views. That's a large army of saxophone players!
"[The] fast-paced and comprehensive program has made learning something new both challenging and rewarding. In less than two weeks, I’ve learned to read music, play four notes, make halfway decent sounds and more... I love Jeremy's approach, and look forward to developing this new skill!" - Paul P.
You are the reason this course exists.
Hi there saxophone friend,
My name's Jeremy, founder of SaxTuition.
Your first year is absolutely crucial to your success on saxophone.
This is when you develop the skills and habits that can make or break your saxophone journey.
If you can thrive in your first year of playing saxophone, you will have a joy and passion that lasts your lifetime.
I love helping beginner saxophonists through this crucial stage of their playing, and I created the SaxTuition Beginner Series to offer students around the globe the best possible way to get started on saxophone - maximizing their progress and having a ton of fun along the way.
Since launching in 2018, thousands of saxophonists have been created with the Beginner Series who now enjoy the thrill of playing in bands, orchestras, church groups & much more...
So - who am I?
I'm a professional saxophonist who's performed around the globe, on stages such as Coachella, Central Park, The Greek Theatre, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Conan O'Brien, The Today Show, X-Factor, Milan Fashion Week and many more. I'm a published academic author in the field of saxophone pedagogy and hold a Masters in Music from the University of Southern California.
I'm immensely proud of my career as a performer, but the course you see here - the SaxTuition Beginner Series - is the proudest accomplishment of my life.
(Except for my beautiful family) 😉

Video Lessons
The 12 lessons in the Beginner Series look and feel like a real 1-1 saxophone lesson, giving you the most natural learning experience possible. Taught by an expert instructor, you’ll learn multiple topics at once, and be able to revisit them any time.
PDF eBook
The included PDF eBook is packed full of fun songs and exercises to play, and contains explanations of everything in the videos. With a clear, easy format, you’ll always know exactly what to play and practice.
Audio tracks
For every song and exercise in the eBook, you’ll find an included mp3 demo track to play along with - most containing slow and fast versions. These have been recorded on both alto and tenor saxophone to match the instrument of your choice.
Conquer the saxophone with the Beginner Series
Produce a beautiful, effortless tone
There is nothing more important than our unique voice on the instrument, which is why tone is our top priority. Learn to control the saxophone and bend the sound to your whim, using dynamics and expression to captivate your audience and channel the saxophone greats.
Learn every note
Jeremy guides you through each and every note of the regular range of the saxophone, ensuring you’re ready to tackle any melody you desire. Better yet, you’ll also learn the ‘alternative’ fingerings that allow you to play fast passages on sax with comfort and ease.
Read sheet music like a pro
Some online courses downplay the importance of sheet music, but the fact is, not being able to read sheet music leaves you at a significant disadvantage. The Beginner Series teaches you to read sheet music as you learn the saxophone, streamlining the process into a fun, seamless experience. Most people are shocked at how easy it is to read sheet music when you can put it to immediate, practical use!
Build a solid, lifelong foundation
Having a strong technical foundation is the key to success on the saxophone. You’ll learn the essential techniques any good saxophonist should know, including performing with a range of articulations, maintaining good posture, developing your embouchure, learning major scales, and so much more.
