‘Teddy has been a great find for us and our 10-year-old daughter. He is approachable, calm, and clearly knows the sax inside out. His approach to teaching is relaxed but assertive enough to really encourage students, and our daughter has made great progress in the short time she has been playing. She also finds reading (and sight reading) difficult, and Teddy has shown great initiative in finding new techniques which really help and encourage her. Having worked with many music teachers before, we are very impressed with Teddy and can highly recommend him.’

‘In 2023, while in my mid-60s, I saw Teddy performing and asked him to take me on as a student. His teaching has been transformative. What sets him apart is his remarkable ability to pinpoint exactly what small adjustment will make the biggest difference in my playing. He is highly engaged in every lesson and impressively attentive to the nuances of sound production; whether it’s a subtle shift in embouchure, tonguing or breathing technique, he has an uncanny knack for identifying the precise modification that unlocks immediate improvement. His teaching, which comes from extensive experience as a performer and lifetime music scholar, is both enriching and practical, making complex challenges feel accessible and surmountable. I always leave lessons encouraged, with clear, actionable insights that accelerate my progress.’
