SAXOPHONE COURSE - The start of your music journey
色士風課程 - 由此開始接觸及演奏不同類型的音樂
"I do really enjoy taking your course. I have no idea about music and instrument experience for my past 28 years of life. But I really enjoy playing my Sax now. I try to practice everyday, even for 10 minutes. Your teaching really a good beginning for a music blind like me." --- Comments from a student, Billy Ip
"Your comments are really encouraging. I really appreciate. I think they not only encourage myself but also others who are hesitating whether they should start playing music instruments and enjoying the music life." --- Reply from Ken
“Thank you for your valuable teaching in the past year. I'm happy to attend the lessons in your studio. It's amazing for me which can now playing some songs by saxophone since I've no experience in playing any musical instruments before." -- Andrew Leung

"I had truly enjoyed the time that spent with everyone in the class and my saxophone. It has been so much fun to experience from 0-music knowledge to being able to play a song with an instrument!" -- Kristie Leung
"Thank you so much for your lessons and I enjoyed so much. “ “The teacher is very patient, and gave many practical advices on making improvements" -- Anny Mak
"A well balance of elements are included in the course. The warm up exercise helps advancing different techniques and improving common mistakes. All these are new to me and I enjoy improving the details.
The songs chosen in the course are all very nice and in a mixture of style. I only played and enjoyed jazz songs with sax 10 years ago. I started to like playing pop songs after this course and become open minded to different style of songs.
I like sometimes there are different keys for one song, so we can choose an appropriate key accordingly to our level or mood.
I like the encouragement and patience from Ken. He always try to find our advantages and encourage us positively. This makes me enjoying class and building confidence.
I enjoy making friends in the class and sharing experience with classmates."
"Learning with Ken gives us opportunities to perform on stage in different occasions. Performance is a way to provide pressure and motivation for practicing. Every performance made me learn much more and build confidence.
Last but not least, “share the joy of music” is the greatest thing I learnt!" -- Winky Ku
"Thank You Very Much, Ken. You are a good teacher and instructor. Keep up the good work. " -- Ben Leung
“Thank you so much for your lessons for last few days. I think your are a great musician and a music teacher. I learned a lot from you for the best for the beginner. Thank you again and God bless you and on your journey.” -- Neil Youk, USA
“Hi Ken, I would like to say thank you again. You help me patiently to resolve the tone and intonation problem over a long period of time. I found more and more fun and satisfaction for playing sax now.” -- Gary Lo





Everyone could play saxophone and enjoy music. That’s for sure. It is actually not much related to music talent (cause this is a natural born gift to everyone). Instead, it is about the commitment and how we maintain our interest and fun through the process to achieve this goal.
Being a saxophone teacher, The focus is not solely identifying students’ mistakes, more importantly is to encourage and inspire the students to breakthrough their current level and build up their confidence in music playing.
Playing saxophone, reading music score would be a challenge to new comers but in return, it will give you Friendship, Achievement, Confidence and Enjoyment. Also, it’s not that difficult as you may think.
