In the OSA I found something exceptional; useful tutorials on playing and improvising along with enjoyable arrangements of actual songs. The material is not only fulfilling to play but shows how the cogs and wheels of the tutorials can be applied, in practice, to create solos and interest.

What first attracted me were the three graded solos on tunes that I was currently playing in my restaurant gigs and out in the street. I quickly found out that I am comfortable with most of the intermediate solos, so you still present a learning opportunity with all the advanced versions. The rest of the stuff I will delve into, a great start for me with OSA!

Playing the music they always wanted
Joining Online Sax Academy was one of the best experiences of my life. He helps and supports me, always gives me positive inspiration. I was amazed at how easily he can help and teach me, and his patience and knowledge are admirable. He not only teaches me to my level, but what is more important he develops my knowledge and improves it continuously.

I am 51 years old and I live in Hamburg/Germany. Online Sax Academy is a great help. His approach is both challenging and fun. But I am especially helped by his offer to send him a recording of me once a month. His feedback and practice tips have really brought me a big step forward in the last few months. I recommend this to every saxophone student.
