As a versatile instrumentalist, Ian has developed a reputation as a first-call musician for various projects from sessions and concerts to theatre and primetime TV and Radio shows.

Working for artists such as Barry Manilow, Sister Sledge, Frank Sinatra Jnr, Gladys Knight, The Temptations and many more, Ian has demonstrated his ability to perform with the best.

From work with organisations such as The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, The Royal Shakespeare Company, BBC and ITV Television companies and many more, Ian offers this experience and ability to his premium online saxophone lesson service enabling clients to obtain the very best quality saxophone education.

In addition to guiding pupils through both ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall external examinations, with a current 100% pass rate, I endeavour to widen a pupil’s musical experience by developing a sound technical facility upon their instrument and actively encouraging ensemble playing.

In addition to tuition within educational establishments, I teach, and hold consultations, with a variety of independent pupils of all abilities, including some overseas students using Zoom, Skype and FaceTime.

In 2011, I was fortunate enough to collaborate with the world-renowned American saxophone player, Eric Marienthal, on producing some apps for the Apple iPhone & iPad which educated pupils across the globe

The first app entitled “Play Sax From Day One” was aimed at the beginner and the second application entitled “Tricks of the Trade” focused on jazz improvisation for advanced students. Both apps proved very popular and were available on the App Store for over five years.
