'People want to go to school and hear they’re good. They should want to go and hear they suck. They don’t go for information; they go for affirmation.' http://ht.ly/sff830oswgC

“The proof to me [that jazz is not dead],” said Escoffery, “is that there are young people interested in learning it. Interesting article http://ht.ly/P8Wb30oqhWM

Fantastic interview with Eric Alexander & Harold Mabern. Look out for my #DansVlog episode tonight about a pearl of wisdom Harold Mabern shared with me, http://ht.ly/7CbO30odY6a

What a fantastic young player. Looking forward to hearing him more, 'I can't stop playing saxophone, saxophone is LIFE'

A true genius at work.

I contacted Cambridge Saxophone trying to get an idea of how much my Tenor sax is worth that I wish to sell. I have been amazed by the help and kindness I received and have been pointed in the right direction to people who can help me. Many thanks Cambridge Saxophone, lovely to see there are still such friendly, helpful people out there!!

Dan is the consummate tutor and to learn from such a talented saxophonist is both an honour and a pleasure. Don’t get me wrong Dan demands that you put the effort in to learning the saxophone and always challenges you. For a man in his sixties to be able to achieve the progress in a few lesson shows what Dan can coax out of you. Thanks Dan.

Dan is a very inspirational teacher, always pushing you to the next level. Concentrating consistently on the basics whilst continually developing your overall ability to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Thanks Dan

Dan is a power station of ideas, expertise, enthusiasm, energy and inspiration. Bursting full of creativity and a guru of everything in the digital world that can really help, Dan has developed some superb and powerful teaching techniques that will revolutionize how you can learn this amazing instrument. Practice and study? Sure, you still have to do the hard yards, but Dan will help you do it the right way, and help you *want* to do it too.



In my eighteen months of lessons, helped by his unfailing patience, responsiveness to feedback, friendly professionalism and generosity of spirit, Dan has guided me towards my dream of playing in bands (now 3!) and my fears/hopes of … improvising. Plenty of room for improvement with this one – did Parker and Coltrane learn to play in five minutes? – but now I'm on my way.



What can I say? Many thanks – I'm truly grateful.
