Kurtis Scotland

Hey! I am now available as a sax tutor for beginners and intermediates around Leeds. £15 for half an hour lessons, £25 for 1 hour. Open to all age groups, and I will come to you (or any location that suits you best)
I also offer tutoring for A-level Music ABRSM at the same prices.

I can coach you through the very beginning of your saxophone journey with tutor led lessons that get you able to play comfortably and properly understand the instrument. I am also very open to student led lessons when you are at a comfortable level. I specialise in Jazz saxophone but have lots of experience with classical and pop music.
I will build up your confidence with music theory, sight-reading, improvisation and any extended technique. I can also provide learning resources like my own exercises that are distributed free of charge, as well as some great sources for your own books and any sax gear.

I also offer coaching through ABRSM and Trinity Laban exam boards all the way up to grade 8. I currently maintain a 100% distinction pass rate for all my students' exams.

I have completed my degree in Jazz Saxophone at Leeds Conservatoire, gaining my graduation certificate in July 2026. Along with this, I also teach a Classical Woodwind Ensemble and Concert Band at Horsforth Music Centre, as well as music theory classes at the centre. All are open to all ages, ranging from children to elderly folk.
I also regularly perform gigs around England as a session saxophonist for Rnb artists Sam Cotton and Shania Sabrina, recording for both of these artists too. I direct and manage my own funk improv group 'Bardic Inspiration', active in Leeds. I also perform regularly with my own jazz quartet, as well as function gigs and dep work for various pop and jazz artists.
