Hi, I’m bryn ripley

After over a decade of teaching, I designed the Sax Academy course for musicians who want to :

  • Have a clear and direct path to play the songs they love

  • Fast track their progress

  • focus on jazz, pop, and funk music

  • Have fun on the horn now!

  • work at their own pace

Here are the perks:

  • my exact approach

    This course is a complete breakdown of the concepts, exercises, and musical ideas that I use in my own playing. From my 13 years of private lessons, to my college education in music, it’s all here in a digestible format just for you! 

  • A Clear path

    this course is designed to remove the confusion, and take you straight to playing the songs you love. Each lesson builds on the last, helping you steadily develop your tone, technique, and unique sound without feeling overwhelmed! 

  • learn at your own pace

    Life is busy, and it can be hard to find time to learn a new instrument. The Sax Academy course is built to fit into your schedule, allowing you to learn and practice whenever works for you!
