Playing the sax is a passion that burns away inside you, isn’t it? There’s nothing quite like the energy you get feeling the cool, crisp brass in your hands.
And then when you hit that perfect note…
That’s when the musical magic happens. You’ve heard it in your favourite tracks before, right?
It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe and for many, it’s something that’s hard to achieve…
Perhaps you’re just starting out and never placed your mouth on the reed before…
Maybe you’ve hit a few notes, but they don’t always sound like they’re supposed to…
Or it could be that you can hit a clean note, but stringing them together in a song is a whole different story…
Whatever your starting point, if you’re like most
getting started on the sax, you might relate to one
of the following…
More than anything… you simply have a desire to be a better saxophone player that just won’t let up.
Above all else, you’re struggling to get started because you’re busy,
frustrated about not making much progress, or feel completely
daunted when you see a sheet of music…
By now, it’s clear… you need to choose a different path to make
progress and get to the next level of playing sax.
Imagine learning to play sax with a teacher who has played in bands, festivals and clubs all over the world…
Someone who jams with the best sax players in the world – and introduces you to them like you’re old friends. A teacher that comes straight to your living room at any time of day that you want to learn.
A super organised teacher that teaches in an interactive, non-threatening way that is fun, engaging and incredibly easy to follow.
Even better, a teacher who shows you exactly what you need to learn at just the right moment. And doesn’t charge you tens of thousands of dollars.
What you’ve just imagined? Well, that’s Sax School…

Learn the exact skill you need at any time at the click of a button.
Plus, so much more…
Ever look at those musicians who look like they were born with a sax in their hands? It’s incredible how easy, effortless and cool they make it look.
Here’s the thing, these laidback naturals started somewhere too, you know. And with Sax School, you can learn to be just like them…
Sax School shows you how to become exceedingly confident with the sax in your hands – in any situation. Jam out at home, play in front of others, and go with the flow of the music and let your instincts take over…
Access to hundreds of songs won’t automatically make you a better player. In fact, it often leads to frustration — bouncing between tunes without real progress.
At Sax School, we take a different approach. We help you build the skills that unlock the music you love — jazz, soul, blues, ska, gospel, pop — so you can play with confidence and style.
Once you’ve got the foundations, you can apply them to any song. No more feeling stuck — just clear, focused progress toward sounding great in your favourite style.
Learning with Sax School is never too fast or too slow because it’s YOU who controls the tempo of learning. It’s entirely self-paced. “Self-select” topics that interest you most, and start, stop or speed up anytime you like.
No once a week lessons, or having to wait, or feeling things are moving too quickly. Even take a break and not lose your place if life gets busy for a little while.
Get full access to the complete library of lessons from your PC or Mac, iPad, iPhone, Kindle, iPhone, windows devices or Android. All you need is an internet connection to get started and access is 24/7!
You don’t need to be a tech genius. It’s as easy as
opening a web browser – like you did to get to this page!
When learning is tedious, theory-heavy and repetitive… it’s easy to quickly lose your motivation for playing sax, no matter how enthusiastic you were when you started.
Here’s the way we look at it. Learning and fun aren’t mutually exclusive. Sax School focuses on learning in a fun, ever-changing and engaging way to keep the buzz alive every time you play.
After watching just one or two videos, you’ll notice the difference… Sax School is personalised, reassuring and enjoyable. You’re not crowded into a classroom.
We really take the time to explain everything step by step. There’s no rush or pressure. It’s a method over 11,369+ students have fallen in love with – and trust.
It’s been proven beyond doubt: you learn faster and more effectively
when surrounded by others on the same path.
Sax School members from all over the world connect, co-create and learn together in
the most vibrant and supportive sax-playing community going around.
Share your passion, make friends, get tips and advice, celebrate your learning milestones,
and get inspired by what others are playing.
You’ve found the one safe place on earth sax players have where you won’t be asked to play quieter by your partner, make the dog start howling or get yelled at by kids for playing too loudly.
“I haven’t played my sax for about 15 years! Just successfully played my first song. Like riding a bike I guess. Thank you for getting me back into my sax playing.”
Suellen Hughes
I started playing at 73 and your lessons have already helped me play so much better. I got to play in front of an audience of over 100 people and from the applause I think they enjoyed it!
John Whitt, USA
It’s bloody brilliant! You literally have a tutor to hand 24/7 and it’s a real mixture of fun and theory!
Cheri Holland
I started sax when I turned 50 but was getting discouraged and bored with my weekly lessons. Then I found Sax School and my progress has been unbelievable. I now have about 10 songs that I can actually play and I am loving it.

I’m 55 and never before picked an instrument up in my life… I’m finding the lessons are making me feel that the sax is so rewarding to me every time I pick it up.”
Steven Jones, UK
You have created a MAJOR professional school here!! What an amazing resource… This covers it all and would be better than a university education from what i’ve seen.
Pete Castellano
I’m so grateful I came across your website (via a YouTube video). It is so professional and engaging – and for the beginner, very well laid out. I also really appreciate your warm and encouraging coaching style, something missing in quite a few other websites!
Louise Ramsay, Scotland
I’m a frontman in a rock band, over the course of several gigs, fans approached me telling me I should be playing the sax… I started studying with you on your site, I auditioned (and passed) for the Sax part with the band about 60 days after that… Your system of teaching music and has made my Sax playing a possibility.
Ian Barclay, USA
“Nigel is by far the most engaging educator”
Hi, I’m Nigel.
It’s no exaggeration to say playing the sax is my life.
For the past 25 years, I’ve been lucky enough to play saxophone all over the world.
As a performer, I’ve played with symphony orchestras and performed thousands of shows in clubs, theatres, and festivals across Europe, Japan, Australia and Canada.
As a music director, I’ve conducted shows for European theatre tours and ran the big band for the award-winning West End show “Rat Pack Live from Las Vegas”.
You may have even heard my playing on top-rating TV shows like “24“ and “Bones“.
Over my 25 years, I’ve learned a lot about playing saxophone, but also about teaching saxophone.
Playing the sax has brought me so much excitement and joy – and given me a career that I truly love. I started Sax School in 2013 as a way to share my knowledge. I could never have imagined that I would have the privilege to teach over 10,000 students!
Ready to take your sax playing to the next level and finally become the sax player you truly want to be?
I’d love you to join us.
Nigel McGill
Yes! We have an entire “Getting Started” section inside Sax School that will guide you quickly through your first notes, and your first tunes. Plus, there are many “Beginner” level lessons too.
Absolutely! Because Sax School is a ‘self-select’ way of learning at your own pace, you can pick up exactly where you left off when you last played or had a lesson.
Definitely! We know playing songs is one of the best feelings on the sax. That’s why core lessons of Sax School teach you how to play full tunes – you even get to choose which ones you learn!
Sax School works best on-line because we are always adding new lessons, however you can download each video lesson to work off-line too!
Sure. The videos teach you in a visual format so you can learn just by watching and working through each lesson. We do also have a series of lessons to help you learn music too though, and each lesson comes with a music worksheet to download.
Not at all! Every sax player gets stuck and hits hurdles at different parts of playing. And Sax School helps you identify your exact roadblocks, then gives you the lesson you need at exactly the right time.
It sure does! Whether it is alto or tenor sax you want to learn, Sax School has the dedicated lessons you need.
