ONLINE COURSES | OFFLINE COURSELearn to Play the Saxophone
When we think of the saxophone, we immediately associate it with smooth, jazzy grooves by Kenny G or the warm tones from Stan Getz. A little known fact is that the saxophone and clarinet go hand-in-hand; saxophone players across the world are expected to know how to play both the clarinet and the flute, as the styles and methods to train playing these instruments are almost exactly the same.
At Rainbow Bridge, we offer basic and advanced training in each of these instruments, including identifying whether playing a baritone or tenor saxophone, clarinet, or flute would be more suitable to your style.
