About Ashton

Hi! I'm a music school student with over 5 years of experience playing and studying music-and I still remember exactly what it's like to be where you are now: curious, excited, and maybe even a little overwhelmed. As a 17-year-old, I teach both children and adults. That's why I love helping beginners just like you get started with confidence. Whether you're picking up the alto saxophone for the first time or want to finally understand how music theory works, I'll guide you step-by-step in a fun, patient, and clear way-without the pressure. Here's what you'll get learning with me: • A strong foundation built from real music school training • Tips and techniques I've learned (and wish I knew sooner!) • A supportive environment where mistakes are part of the process • Personalized lessons that match your pace and goals You don't need to be "naturally musical"-just willing to learn. I'll take care of the rest.

About the lesson

What You'll Learn with Me:
1. Alto Saxophone (Beginner Lessons)
Whether you've never picked up a saxophone or just started, I'll guide you through everything you need to build a strong foundation, including:
• How to Assemble and Care for Your Saxophone
Learn how to safely put it together, clean it properly, and keep it in great shape.
• Proper Playing Position and Hand Technique I'll show you how to hold the sax comfortably, use correct finger placement, and build good habits from the beginning.
• Tone Production
Discover how to get a clear, strong sound using your mouth (embouchure), air support, and reed control.
• Reading Music for Saxophone
You'll learn to read notes, rhythms, and symbols specific to the saxophone-so you can play real music, not just exercises.
• Simple Songs and Melodies
We'll apply what you've learned by playing fun, recognizable songs that keep things interesting and motivating.
• Practice Tips and Routines
I'll help you build a practice habit that fits your schedule and helps you improve week by week.
• The Basics of Reading Music
Notes, rhythms, rests, time signatures, key signatures-everything you need to read sheet music confidently.
• Scales and Intervals
We'll explore major and minor scales, how they're built, and why they matter. Plus, you'll understand the "distances" between notes (intervals) that create harmony.
• Chords and Harmony
Learn how chords are made, how they work together, and how songs use them to create emotion and structure.
• Ear Training Basics
Start developing your ear by recognizing notes, intervals, and rhythms-helping you become a stronger musician.
• Writing Your Own Music (Optional!)
For students interested in creativity, we can look at how to write simple melodies or songs using your theory knowledge.

I’ve received in-person lessons from Ashton for my 12 year old son. My son is in grade 6 band and was picking up the sax for the first time. Ashton helped him for his first 5 hours of playing saxophone. His school teachers could not believe how much he already knew about the instrument. Would recommend for anyone.
