I was apprehensive in joining the Saxophone Ensemble as I have always just played at home and had never played within a group, which was what I desperately needed to bring my saxophone playing to a new level.
I initially spoke with Martino over the telephone before I booked as I had many questions that I needed answering.
Martino could not have been more helpful and he completely put me at ease. He explained in depth what the ensemble was about and what I could expect to achieve from it.
I have to say that the ensemble has been better than that I could ever have imagined. In just a matter of weeks my sight reading has improved vastly, along with my timing and intonation. The ensemble is open to all ages from school children to adults, who like myself took to learning the saxophone much later in life.
Martino has a vast knowledge of not only composing and playing the saxophone. He also has a passion to ensure that each and everyone of his students is improving. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable and strives to get the best out of his group.
Please do not allow you age or ability to be a factor for not joining. Martino makes learning incredible fun and I cannot wait for the next one!”
