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’ve already taken a few lessons and have the fundamentals down…
Maybe you’re looking to pick up the sax again after who knows how many years, and want to start back where you left off…
Or it could be you’re confident playing alone, but playing in front of others gets the hands trembling a little…
Whatever your starting point, if you are like
most who have been playing the sax for years,
you might relate to one of the following…
More than anything… you simply have a desire to be a true, stage-owning entertainer that just won’t let up.
Above all else, you’re frustrated about not playing at the level you
want to be at, you’ve hit a plateau with that you can’t get past, and
you’re starting to wonder if you’ll ever make it on stage…
By now, it’s clear… you need to choose a different path to make the
leap to become a true entertainer on the 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.

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.

the most vibrant and supportive sax-playing community going around.

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.

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.

Marnie Lovell
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
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.
While most other music courses cater for either beginners, the amazing thing about Sax School is that it caters to all levels of ability. Inside, you’ll be able to choose lessons based on your current playing skills and fully customise your training from there.
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.
(Billed annually at $480 $230 per year. Cancel anytime. 90-Day Money Back Guarantee)
Get instant access to all the training the moment you sign up!
Really think about it. Imagine it. Feel it as if it’s happening right now.
Is it to play in a band at your pub or club in front of hundreds of people…?
Play at your church every weekend…?
Play to friends and family, watching them light up with amazement…?
Record your own music…?
Or simply enjoy the personal satisfaction of playing and improvising on your own…?
Whatever your goal, it’s possible day, weeks or months from now. With a simple decision you can make right here, today…
I promise, if you stick to what I teach in Sax School, you can get from where you are right now to where you want to be and finally become the sax player you’ve always
dreamed of being.
