Saxophone Weekend with Andy Scott - October 2024

Over 30 years Andy has devoted a huge amount of time developing and crafting his Saxophone Days, Weekends and specialist Saxophone Courses. The focus is on ensemble playing, with no-one in the UK having more experience of Saxophone Ensemble composing/performing/recording than Andy (SaxAssault/Group S, London Saxophonic, Apollo Saxophone Orchestra, RNCM Saxophone Orchestra).

"Through experience and trial and error, I like workshops to be music led. If we encounter moments where our techniques don't enable us to play the music that is in our minds then we'll stop and figure it out! What we are also doing with this approach is self-teaching, setting ourselves up to be able to practise effectively and efficiently when alone, and after all time is limited in our lives so let's make the most of our practise! 

Everything is relaxed when rehearsing on the weekend course, after all we all love music and simply want to enjoy ourselves. We can do this, by working hard and opening our ears and minds, enjoying working with like-mined saxophonists and taking away lots of ideas!! People talk about 'fun'...... for me fun means satisfaction, a sense of achievement, music making to be proud of :-)" Andy Scott
