EXCELLENT Based on 17 reviews Posted on David Iles19/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig is an excellent Saxophone Teacher. His passion and motivation is second to none. I have learnt so much from him, his lessons are very informative and he has a great sense of humour which he definitely needs with me! I would highly recommend him to any future saxophonists.

Haha ! Bless you Dave. You’ve come on so well since we started lessons. Looking forward to getting you onstage and jamming in 2026!Posted on Tim Howes16/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "Please can we carry on lessons with Craig - he's such a dude!" Said my 9yr old daughter. As a sax player myself I can vouch for his command of the instrument - a really great player with a lovely tone, fluent technique and great style. His teaching of my daughter has been fantastic, from getting her embouchure and fingerings sorted, to some gentle improvisation and learning Christmas carols by ear only a few weeks later. Highly recommended

The dude abides 😎🎷😎🎷Posted on Vivien Rolfe15/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig is an outstanding teacher and can meet you whatever your saxophone experience is. He's teaching me improvisation and theory and has made such a difference to my playing. Lessons with him are so much fun and you get mp3 files to practice with.

Thanks Viv for your review. Always a pleasure having you come into the studio and hear your amazing sax playing !Posted on Kate Aston12/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an adult player I’d been playing for a while in jazz and blues but was frustrated by a plateau in my learning and skills which was knocking my confidence. Craig is rekindling my passion for the saxophone by addressing both basics that needed attention and more advanced techniques that I’d always assumed to be beyond me. He seamlessly and flexibly accomodates a mix of zoom and in person lessons. I value the ability to keep a zoom recording of the lesson as I can go back through it again in slower time. He is relentless in his support, enthusiasm and encouragement, even and especially when I’m finding the work challenging. I’m about half a dozen lessons in, and can hear for myself that my tone and solos are steadily improving. Best of all though is being excited to be playing again. I wish I’d started lessons with him much sooner. Recommended without reservation.

Thanks Kate ! Great to have you as a student !Posted on Cecily Palmer12/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic Saxophone lessons Craig is an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher whose knowledge is extensive and who communicate clearly and breaks down all aspects of musical learning in an accessible way. Lesson have been fun and engaging from day one of my daughter starting to learn and she is building her knowledge of reading music, music theory and playing brilliant jazz music with every lesson. Not to mention the new music we now play at home. Listening to their lessons is a high point of my week. We would recommend Craig to anyone wanting to learn and feel lucky to have found him:)

Merry Christmas Mark!Posted on Jill Thorpe30/07/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig played for us on the terrace at Henbury Golf Club after our Championships. What a fantastic way to finish off a special day. Perfect set of music. Thank you!

Thank you such for having me at the Beautiful Henbury Golf Club. What a fun bunch you all were and lovely audience.Posted on Jenna Brown23/07/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig is a fantastic teacher and an absolutely wonderful saxophonist. He has been teaching our daughter for about 2 years since she was 7. She was desperate to play sax and Craig has nurtured her enthusiasm. He recently helped her pass grade 1 with distinction, even supporting her to compose and perform her own piece as part of the exam. One of the best things about Craig’s approach is his ability to understand when younger players may need to take breaks, or to try something different to help them keep their attention and focus. He is always positive, encouraging and playful and our daughter loves her lessons. I highly recommend Craig to any parents looking for a teacher for their children - or for themselves!

I look forward to seeing her progress through the music !Posted on Body Focus Gym - Bristol19/07/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig, is so energetic, and full of enthusiasm when he teaches, I’ve been looking for a great Saxophone teacher, and his Vibe has surely grasped me, he teaches in a great illustrated way, making it easy for a complete beginner to an expert to get grips with. I would truly recommend Craig for such knowledge and the way he cruises around the saxophone with skill. I am so pleased. Phil
