Many of sax teacher Martin Townshend’s students aim to play with others as soon as they have reached a suitable level. Martin is associated with the
North Leeds Music Centre and recommends beginners to join the Training Orchestra of the North Leeds Music Centre where they will find a supportive atmosphere.
For beginners and early learners of the sax, the Training Orchestra of the North Leeds Music Centre is ideal. It currently consists of around 30 players and no previous orchestral experience is necessary.
When the student becomes more advanced, a place in the Senior Orchestra of the North Leeds Music Centre may be offered.
