Becky Deans Saxophonist and Teacher

11/07/2025

Hello. Due to a change in circumstances, I will now be available for weddings and other bespoke projects including coaching ensembles. I have recently gained experience of working on Kodaly inspired sessions for young people in EYFS/KS1, including a spot of KS1 ukulele. I have also coached a saxophone ensemble to a performance at Derby Music Centre’s summer concert. Limited availability from 28 August 2025.

This year I am doing some peri teaching, my usual groups and gearing up for a wedding on sax! PM for availability. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN2I1PLGQ_0

Thankful to say I did my first gig in two years just over a week ago. We missed last year so it was lovely to meet up with the group, albeit with some distance. [Photo from the church magazine]

I have a Christmas concert booked with a church group. Do you need Christmas backing music or a short concert? Give me a shout!

Something to think about when considering music lessons (on any instrument) for your child.

A new report suggests that rather than pupils studying more to improve their maths, science and English their time would be better spent in music classes. Skills learned in music lessons…

I am currently taking a break from performing and teaching. If you’d like lessons or have an event booking, I will be taking on new pupils and performing again around October.
Here I am performing Come Away with Me if you can’t wait until then!

Come Away with Me on alto sax by Becky Deans recorded at the fabulous and historic wedding venue Papplewick Pumping Station.

Thank you to Marlpool URC Lunch Club for the lovely flowers. It was great to play for you today. I particularly enjoyed the singing along!

Music for this morning’s teaching. ‘Take Five’ has to be in your repertoire if you’re a saxophonist!
