My Friend Chris and I are putting together some saxophone workshops this summer. We have booked 4 different venues across Leicestershire and Rutland and are looking forward to working with anyone who feels that this event is for them.

We are not running Jazz workshops as there are plenty of those around already. We wanted to do something different with Saxophone ensembles. We are using a time line of Saxophone music, from the very beginning with military music, through classical, 1920′s Big Band, Rock and Roll, shows and through to Modern pieces. The idea is to show you what is possible with you and your Saxophone, to look at styles that you may not have tried before.

I have attached our leaflets and poster with more details on.

If you feel that this may interest you or you just have a question, then we would love you to get in touch with us, either through this site or buy using the contact details on the attached leaflet.

I am going to be up dating this page as things proceed so please keep an eye on it for any new information.

We hope to see some of you at the events having a good time.

Best Wishes

Dave
