Max C.

About me Hey guys! I’m Max, a saxophonist, pianist and occasional music producer(?) currently studying a Bachelor of Commerce at The University of Melbourne. I graduated from Caulfield Grammar School (Wheelers Hill Campus) in 2023 with a raw score of 42 in VCE Music Performance with a full score of 200/200 on the final recital (only 1 of 2 saxophonists in the whole state to achieve this) Alongside this, I attained a high distinction in AmusA (Saxophone) at the age of only 14. What am I offering? I’m currently offering classical and jazz saxophone lessons for - AMEB: Preliminary to Grade 8 (Alto + Soprano) - VCE Music Performance Units 1-2 (Sax) - VCE Music Performance Units 3-4 (Sax) Why choose me? Having completed AmusA at such a young age, I can confidently attribute a large portion of my success to two main things 1. Consistent, daily practice 2. Genuine passion and interest in music My commitment is to instil this same passion and work ethic in my students to ensure that come exam time, they’ll be confident and ready to achieve the very best they can. Additionally, I've not only had the pleasure of being extensively taught and mentored by the best saxophonists in Australia such as Niels Bijl, Lachlan Davidson, Joseph Lallo and Nessyah Buder, but throughout my 8+ years of performing sax at concerts, competitions and festivals, I’ve picked up numerous, game-changing insights from the practice room to the stage, all of which I seek to pass on to my students. My Approach: Designed to fit each student's unique needs When you learn with me, I provide each of my students a detailed roadmap on: where they are now, what are their goals, how do we achieve these goals using checkpoints + feedback and finally, what does being prepared for the final performance look like. This enables me to create a tailored, structured plan for EACH INDIVIDUAL STUDENT to guide them in the right direction whether that be about piece selection, practice methods, technical skills or performance tricks. Special Offer - FREE 30 MINUTE INITIAL CONSULTATION Lessons can be either face to face or online. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! (Contact is under achievements)
