Would you like to belt out some bluesy rhythm and blues or delve into the world of jazz ? A little Bach perhaps, or something else from the classical repertoire, a lot of which translates beautifully onto the saxophone.
If you live in Paisley, Johnstone, Kilmacolm, Bridge of Weir, Houston or the broader Renfrewshire, Inverclyde or Ayrshire area or beyond, whatever your musical taste, Richard Mulhearn can help you achieve your dreams of playing the saxophone. And with over 30 years of experience as a teacher and performer he is perfectly placed to understand the challenges and rewards involved.
Learning to play the saxophone is the perfect activity to help you unwind after a stressful working day; it can also be a way to stay motivated and involved if you’re recently retired or semi-retired. It may be that you’ve learned to play a musical instrument in the past and let it lapse, or just that you’ve always promised yourself lessons but have never had the time, patience or confidence to take that leap. Whether you want to play for pleasure or take graded examinations with ABRSM or Guildhall, Richard can guide you through. From classic pop to improvisation in jazz and blues, the repertoire for saxophone is wide and varied so there’s plenty of choice and publications to work from. Richard can provide opportunities for duets and ensemble playing with other pupils at a similar level – this is great fun and a chance to meet others with a similar interest. And the fundamentals of technique are comprehensively covered in order to avoid the dreaded squeaks and various other unwanted sounds!
