Online lessons
London Saxophone School also offers online lessons from the comfort of your own home. If you don’t have the time to commit to lessons in person, are not local or live in another country or continent, Skype lessons are an excellent way to learn. We have taught many pupils around the world from Mexico to India and within a period of 6 months there was a significant improvement on their sound and technique.

“Having lessons with Martino via Skype was a great experience for me and was able build a very special musical relationship with him. To see and understand the music the way Martino does, has completely changed my conception of sound. Every note, every phrase now have a new and deeper meaning; the interpretation becomes something real. It has been an extremely enriching and fun experience. I’m now hoping to get coaching with my quartet.”
