For whom?

This method has been developed for beginners and advanced players, who finally like to practice and enjoy playing in a different way. And by that I mean playing a lot by heart, by ear and on intuition. Without using any sheet music. Read more »

I learned a lot from Peter’s method. He teaches us the joy of music, the sensations it can give us. His method allows me to concentrate on what’s essential. He also continuously encourages us to progress a little more with each lesson. Peter helps to find personal tricks to play the saxophone better and uses various methods because his aim is to make playing the sax more fun.
You get away from notes on paper and learn to listen and play what you hear and feel. It's always a pleasure to play with Peter's teaching, which gives more confidence with my saxophone. I would never go back to a traditional apprenticeship.  Merci beaucoup - Lucie

"…yes, I had already looked around your site a bit last week. I think the idea is really great, and also well-developed."

After not playing the sax for 40 years, I started looking for a saxophone teacher who could teach me how to play freely. As a child I laid the foundation and was able to play well from sheet music. Peter helps me with his own developed method to play the saxophone better and more freely. It is a method that teaches me to play by ear and feel with a minimum of theoretical baggage. So get rid of the sheet music and enjoy playing and improvising from memory - Henk

Hans Dulfer  tenorsaxophonist and great inspirator…
"I had already read about it and of course I completely agree with you because your ideas about learning to play an instrument (sax) are exactly the same as mine. It is an approach that allows you to play sax very quickly."

Peter's method is literally liberating. You break away from playing notes on paper and learn to listen, recognize structures and play what your heart tells you. It is incredible how quickly you learn to make music with this approach instead of playing scores - Kim

After having 2 strokes, I had difficulties with most traditional ways of teaching. Because Peter uses a completely different kind of method, I found my passion in it. He makes me listen to different styles of music, and lets me hear and feel the music, instead of reading what I want to play - Frank.

Peter teaches me to enjoy music and to trust on myself, without traditional theory. I was sceptical at the start but it works very good for me. Had (only) 7 lessons by now and havent seen any notes, but I got 5 songs that I can play by now! - Erik
