about geoff dawson

Background:	I have taught clarinet & saxophone lessons at Caulfield Grammar, Ivanhoe Grammar and Aquinas College, as well as various secondary schools for the Education Department. I currently teach band programs at primary schools throughout Melbourne, teaching saxophone, clarinet, flute, trumpet, trombone and percussion. I also run the Seymour Junior Band Program, a Saturday band program in Seymour during school terms at Seymour Primary School. Group tuition is available to both primary & secondary students from Seymour and surrounding areas. Once students have mastered the basics they are then eligible to join the band. I am able to teach students of all ages, abilities and styles (including exams). I not only focus on the technical aspects of learning an instrument but also include musical expression, appreciation and background, resulting in confident, well-rounded students. I believe age should be no barrier to the joy of learning an instrument, and have even taught a few over 55’s!
