I’m so grateful I came across your website (via youtube). Sax School is so professional and engaging – and for the beginner, very well laid out. I also really appreciate your warm and encouraging coaching style, something missing in quite a few other websites!

“Nigel helped me go from absolute beginner to knowing over 30 tunes, and playing regularly with a band in my area!”
Mindy Weaver – USA
“Nigel is a fantastic teacher and a great communicator. I’m always amazed at the range of resources in Sax School and how I can use them over and over”
Gerry Smith – UK
“Sax School has really increased my enjoyment of learning saxophone and I love being able to work through things at my own pace”
Richard Stubley – Sydney Australia

“I’ve improved faster than with any other method I have tried!”
Your system of teaching is perfect for my learning style. I can’t thank you enough for making Sax School.
Deano Worsley, Australia
“The lessons, pdf and backing tracks give an amazing value for money.”
As a trainer myself (public speaking) I wanted to convey my compliments on your pedagogical style. It is a pleasure to get a lesson from you even if you don’t have a clue who I am ;-).”
Ruben Brunsveld,Director Stockholm Institute for Public Speaking
“You are an inspirational teacher and the lessons are brilliantly explained and structured.”
I always wanted to learn to play the saxophone, as it’s such a cool instrument, but was never able to. With your online lessons I have made great improvement. The tunes you choose as well as the exercises you give are great. Thank you so much.”
Annemarieke Kroon, Netherlands
“Without your online saxophone lessons, sheet music & backing tracks, I wouldn’t have been able to set myself up as a solo artist.”
A huge thanks for all your help via Sax School – Still a long way to go but I’m now out gigging, both with my 6-pce 80’s party band and on my own in residential care homes -(the “oldies” are loving the tracks I’ve learnt from your website, like Bye Bye Blackbird & Fly Me To The Moon!)
My ultimate goal is to get good enough to start putting myself out there for function work…thanks again!
Alison Clark, England
“I have advanced more in the past year than in the previous 8 combined!”
I thought I was to old to learn much, but I have been playing regularly at my church, at weddings, county fairs and anywhere else someone will allow – it has been great!
Thanks for everything, but thanks mostly for the confidence!”
Duane Gettis, Buffalo, New York. USA
“As a professional educator, I can tell you that your teaching style is first rate.”
I am really enjoying what you are doing with the school. I have watched many DVDs and You Tube videos of talented players who can’t really explain the techniques or the theory – so it often becomes a recital for them but little is gained by the student.
You have a natural gift of teaching coupled with a real musical talent, and that is rare.
Bob Hartmann McNamara, Ph.D., Associate Provost and Dean of the Graduate College, USA
Meet your new teacher: Nigel McGill
“I’ve spent 25 years working in every part of the music business – let me share my knowledge with you”
Nigel McGill
Sax School Founder
Big Bands, Orchestras,
TV Sessions, Festivals,
Musical Directing…
I’ve been very fortunate to have worked in just about every aspect of the music business over the last 25 years.
You may have heard my playing on TV sessions I’ve recorded for shows like “24“ and “Bones“.
For more than a decade I ran the big band for one of the most popular shows in Europe – “Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas“.
I’ve also conducted tours across Europe and performed with Symphony Orchestras.
As a jazz musician I’ve performed thousands of shows in clubs, theatres, and festivals across Europe, Japan, Australia and Canada.
Over all this time I’ve learned a lot about playing saxophone, but also about teaching saxophone.
Let me share my knowledge with you!

Thanks a million.
