Ensemble Workshop

£59.00

Stop waiting for permission to improvise. A live, playing-focused afternoon that gets you soloing over real changes by the end of the session.

A lot of players tell me they miss the feeling of playing in a group — but a weekly ensemble is a big commitment to sign up for without knowing what it’s like. This workshop gives you that experience in a single afternoon.

We’ll split into parts (soprano/alto/tenor/bari, whatever the group needs), rehearse a short, achievable arrangement together, and finish with a run-through as a full group. You’ll leave with a real sense of what ensemble playing feels like — the listening, the blending, the timing — without any ongoing obligation.

By the end of the session, you’ll have:

  • Played a full arrangement as part of a saxophone ensemble
  • Practical experience listening and blending within a group
  • A clear sense of whether ongoing ensemble playing is for you

Who it’s for: Players of any level who want the experience of playing in a group, without committing to a term-long ensemble.

“It was a great experience playing with you all yesterday in my first ensemble. Got some courage to play in front of of an audience.”
Vilas, saxophone student

 

“I cannot recommend the ensemble enough! Everyone is super friendly and Martino is such a supportive teacher. He always manages to have a smile on his face, even when we sound awful! I am very grateful to LSS and would encourage anyone who is in a bit of a rut with their solo practising to sign up.”
Maartje, saxophone student
