Teaching

For the last eight years I have been on the faculty at Massey University (now New Zealand School of Music), lecturing in saxophone and related studies within the Bmus programme and have been the 1st & 2nd year course co-ordinator for the jazz department.

I have taught musicianship, combos, improvisation, theory, keyboard lab, big band and instrumental lessons.

Private Lessons

I am available for private lessons on the saxophone as well as theory, improvisation and keyboard skills.
(Email me for availability)

Master classes/clinics

I am available for master classes and clinics that can cover just about anything from saxophone specific topics (reeds, mouthpieces, breathing, articulation, transcribing etc) to directing a big band, rehearsing a small band and everything else in between.

Lectures

I am available to give the following lectures;

Bobby Wellins - 'The realm of highland Bebop'
Eddie Harris - 'His world of invention and intervallic displacement'
Stanley Turrentine and Gene Ammons - 'What made them so soulful?'
