How it Works

Step 1. Choose your tutor

Browse our list of approved tutors and see who feels like the best fit for you. Every tutor is a conservatoire-trained saxophone specialist and DBS-checked, so you’ll always be in safe, inspiring hands.

Step 2. Send us an enquiry

Complete the form at the bottom of this page to let us know which tutor(s) you’d like to learn with. If there’s more than one tutor you’d be happy to learn with, just tick all the boxes that apply and we’ll match you with the tutor we think is the best fit.

Step 3. We’ll take care of the details

Our team will check your tutor’s availability and arrange your first block of 3 lessons for you.

Step 4. First invoice

To give you the very best start, we ask all new students to book 3 lessons up front. This helps you settle in, build momentum, and get real progress under your belt straight away.

Alongside your lessons, you’ll also receive a one-year membership to The Hive, our inclusive saxophone community, for just £25 (a saving of 50% off the usual rate).

Step 5. Begin your saxophone journey
Enjoy your first 3 lessons. After that, you’ll book and pay your tutor directly for future lessons.

Step 6. Keep growing
Your membership to The Hive unlocks a full year of discounted events, resources, and community at the Academy, giving you support, inspiration, and opportunities beyond your regular lessons.

5. Switching tutors (if needed)

If you request to switch tutors within the first 3 lessons, any remaining lessons will be transferred to your new tutor.
If your new tutor’s hourly rate is higher than your original tutor’s rate, the difference must be paid before further lessons can be scheduled.
If your new tutor’s rate is lower, no refund will be given.
Tutors are always paid for the lessons they have taught.
If you wish to switch tutors after your initial 3 lessons, this will incur a £10 administration fee payable to Manchester Saxophone Academy.
