About MIRA

Music is a human right and a human necessity. Mira is passionate about instilling a love of music in everyone. She loves seeing students grow as musicians and people, and strongly believes that creativity in music education is essential (that's more than just copying what's on the page and learning by rote - TRUE creativity, invention, and spontaneous making).

Mira Stephens is a Naarm/Melbourne based Australian saxophonist fascinated with the beautiful array of expression to be found in between the traditionally defined edges of art. They are discovering ways to incorporate elements of interdisciplinary art forms into their music practice through performance, composition, improvisation and collaboration. Using the unique palette of sounds possible on the saxophone to create inquisitive and meditative sound worlds, Mira uses their work to help understand life’s big questions.

Mira completed a Bachelor of Music Performance (Honours) at The Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, The University of Melbourne. She has completed studies at Sibelius Academy, Finland, and has performed in masterclasses with a multitude of local and international musicians. In her professional practice, Mira performs solo and in small ensembles. Her compositions have been performed in Australia, Europe and Asia, by ensembles as large as 80+ musicians (As Dawn Turns, UniMelb Saxophone Mega Day 2023).

Mira’s performances are inspired by and reflect on the environment, society, nature, humans, philosophy and the universal questions that we all ask. Mira engages with these topics through exploring movement in performance, working in mediums such as video conference technology, audio technology, playing in acoustically interesting locations and collaborating with other artists.

About the lesson

Hi there, welcome to Mira’s Music Studio! I’m Mira, your go-to online saxophone, flute, clarinet and music theory teacher. I can’t wait to meet you and hear about your musical goals!

Musicians who learn with me find enjoyment in musical creativity and experimentation. You will learn to play your favourite music (as well as music that is new and challenging) and get better at your instrument through technical and creative exercises. This could include improvising, scales, composing, aural, music theory, and/or active listening. These exercises always lead back into the important skills of reading and playing the music you love on your instrument.

In our lessons we will always work collaboratively to get you to where you want to be with your music. You can be guided through exams if desired, or aim for unique performance and creative goals (for example busking, family performance, video/soundtrack project, or a composition). Every lesson is planned to the students' individual needs, goals, learning style and musical preferences.

Levels on offer:
Saxophones (alto, tenor, soprano, baritone): beginner to advanced
Flute: beginner to intermediate
Clarinet: beginner to intermediate
Music theory: AMEB grade 1 to 3

All are welcome and encouraged to learn music. My teaching experience ranges from beginners to advanced with young children to retirees. Mira’s Music Studio is an inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ folk, first nations people and those with accessibility requirements or additional learning needs. You are welcome to mention, at any time, anything that can make your learning more enjoyable, effective and safe.

Check out these reviews from students:
“After deciding to play the sax after a 25 year hiatus, I found Mira and couldn’t be happier. Mira is an accomplished saxophonist and has a great ability to be patient and thorough with my learning as a beginner. I always leave our lessons with new tips and challenges to build my skills and would alternate my lessons with alto and tenor which she encouraged. I highly recommend lessons with Mira if you’re a beginner like me, or an experienced player looking for someone with a keen eye and ear to improve your playing.” - Cam W (adult learner)

“Mira taught my daughter saxophone for several years and was always extremely organised, professional and creative in her approach to teaching. We were so lucky to find her.” - Adèle S (parent)

Mira Stephens
