  • I never thought I could play this well, certainly not within 6 months, but Ed has proved I can. Thank you!

    James Piper, Surrey

  • Brilliant course: really clear and easy to follow and I found the Ebook really helpful too. When’s the intermediate course coming out!?

    Ben James, London

  • Thanks Ed for such an amazing start on the sax. My wife bought me the course as a birthday present and I’ve loved every minute of it. I think she’s regretting it though as I’m always practising now! Thanks again and let me know when you do another course.

    Richard Capper, Leicester

  • Great lessons, Ed. Thanks so much! I enjoyed our Skype lesson too. Now I must go and practise more!

    Keith Bessey, Kalkan, Turkey

  • I really enjoy my lessons with Ed. Good quality, A lot of good content. Definetly worth the time and effort!

    Matty Dempster, London

  • A free Skype lesson with Ed Barker – that alone is worth the price of the course!

    Donna Schwartz, Los Angeles

  • I thought I was musically illiterate but I can actually now play the sax! I didn’t think this was going to be possible…

    Laura Davies, London

  • It really is a comprehensive course – a sax course for musical dummies (that’s what I was!). Thanks, Ed, I’ll see you on the next course…

    Paul Murray, Leicestershire

  • An amazing way for a busy person to learn the sax from scratch – you can learn from home, any time, with one of the best sax players I’ve ever heard! I always thought I was unmusical but your sax course proved me wrong.

    Heather Millican, Ealing

  • Great lessons, ebook and course structure. The course was enjoyable and I didn’t imagine I’d actually be able to play by the end of it but I can!

    Simon Page, Essex

  • Big thumbs up for the course and Ed’s teaching style and I couldn’t recommend the course highly enough!

    Mike Gunn, Stratford Upon Avon, UK

  • I’m a pianist but I’d heard Ed’s jazz harmony course was really easy to understand. I’d always played classical piano but now feel comfortable improvising and pulling myself away from the notes on the page…now I need to get to a jam session! Thanks, Ed.

    Kate Chandler, New York

  • Everything is explained so clearly and Ed is really motivational. He offered me a private Skype lesson for free at the end of the course so I really felt the need to prepare for that – that was motivation enough. Thanks, Ed, it was great and I’m looking forward to the next course.

    Grigory Parkhomenko, Moscow

  • This is a brilliant course, very well structured and presented in a way no book can. It makes Jazz harmony straight-forward and fun to explore. The backing tracks are superb, and from a top flight band.

    Ted Rockley, London

  • Ed’s a great teacher and the course is amazing value – it’s like having a private teacher all year round!

    Victoria Markou, London

  • This course is as useful for composers and arrangers as it is for performers and improvisers. It is most definitely a resource I will be re-visiting, throughout my musical career. Thanks, Ed.

    Richard Norris, Paris

  • Ed is a really fantastic teacher and learning with him was a great experience for me. Ed’s such a positive person, loads of energy, lots of fun and always very encouraging and that really comes through in his lessons.

    Max Jaworski, London

  • I found the course insightful and informative, clearly explained and easy to understand. Ed makes the concepts of jazz improvisation theory attainable rather than overwhelming and I really enjoyed the course. Ed is a great teacher.

    Daryl Oliver, London

  • This course by Ed Barker is great for jazz musicians of all levels. Ed takes you through the very basics, in a clear, comprehensive manner, and guides you through some complex content that many pros use on gigs today.
