Trevor James

Sax-Packs
" The sax-pack is the best introduction to playing the saxophone that I have come across!" - Steve Birtwistle

"Many years ago I got hold of an old alto sax and learnt the hard way with a poor instrument, a confusing tutor book, unsuitable mouthpiece and incorrect reeds. In an effort to reduce further suffering in the world for fellow dreamers I went out and tried every sax I could get my hands on, read every tutor book, watched every tutor video and generally considered all aspects of sharing life with the brass beast. I found the Trevor James & Artemis to be amongst the best reasonably priced saxes around. They're not the absolute cheapest but what really sets them apart is the company that supplies them. Trevor James & Co. specialise in woodwind & brass and they design/manufacture themselves. They have a small, dedicated team in Maidstone (England) setting up EVERY instrument by hand and they genuinely care. Good student mouthpieces are bought in separately to make the sax easy to blow from your very first attempt. THE SAXOPHONE video (or DVD) is aimed firmly at the beginner and assumes no prior knowledge. It teaches you to play and its great fun - what more could you ask for? The stand will encourage practice - seeing your sax standing in the corner on it's own will make you want to pick it up and play! A deluxe case, reeds, cork grease, strap, assembly & care instructions complete the set up. This formula has already created several thousand new sax players and we call it the SAX-PACK."

The unique Sax-Pack removes the confusion for the first time buyer, making life easy as it contains all you need to get started. An excellent saxophone with high grade mouthpiece, case, reeds, strap, grease, TUITION VIDEO or DVD lasting 103 minutes and metal sax stand. It's a wonderful gift and carries a TWO YEAR Guarantee !

All Alto Sax-Packs are supplied with the Tuition Video or DVD for Sax. Introduced by JOOLS HOLLAND.
These excellent videos/DVD's are aimed firmly at the beginner. Whatever style you eventually want to play, the basics have to be learned. Too many people give up at this stage because the learning can be laborious and discouraging. These videos/DVD's makes learning interesting and fun. It may take weeks or months to master techniques contained within the videos but there is no time limit, work at your own pace and enjoy the process.

THE SAXOPHONE is presented by Pete Thomas. Pete Thomas has toured with Rod Argent, Bill Haley, Fats Domino, Joe Jackson and Richard Thompson; recorded with Gary Glitter, Elton John, Cliff Richard, S’Express and numerous other leading artists. The SAXOPHONE VIDEO is included in the Alto SAX PACK. Approx. running time 103 mins.

"In an ideal world your parents buy you a great sax when you're 8 years old, you have a wonderful teacher, you're enthusiastic, work hard and enjoy all aspects of learning to play. Unfortunately life isn't always like that. However the good news is that, contrary to popular belief, you can make a successful start at any age (OK, 3 year olds will struggle on a tenor sax), and we make it easy with the tenor SAX-PACK. You'll love the Jazz/Blues playalong CD and book supplied."

This is so much fun! Karaoke for the sax! Seriously though, it is one of the best teaching systems available. The book takes you from the day you get home with basic assembly instructions and exercises, through to intermediate standard playing. Each track teaches you something new and you’ll be playing Blues for Beginners within the first few days! Very well thought out with the band on one side of the stereo and the sax on the other - so you can play along or go solo!

Continue on the sax trail...

I started renting Trevor James Classic Sax-Pack from you in November 2005 which I later purchased. I had never played a musical instrument before and couldn't read music. A friend has helped me learn to not only play the Sax but also to read music and on July 7th at the age of 31 I sat and passed the ABRSM Grade 3 Alto Saxophone exam. If it hadn't been for the excellent service you provide with your Sax-Packs I probably would never have even tried to learn the Saxophone. Thank you for making it so easy for me to start as I have had many hours of enjoyment playing my Saxophone and the sense of achievement in passing my first ever music exam (with a Distinction - 137 out of 150).

I received my Alto sax about a week ago and I've hardly stopped playing it. It's wonderful. I am glad I decided to buy it rather than rent because I can learn at my own pace and it's mine! When it arrived I couldn't wait to get it out and start playing. My family and friends think it is gorgeous, It is beautiful. I still can not believe that I finally have a saxophone. I am so pleased with it. Your service was truly brilliant , even after a few technical hitches on my part you still provided a professional service. I will be sure to have further dealings with your company in the future. At the risk of repeating myself again---THANKYOU!!!! From a very happy customer Samantha Cork.

Well it's been almost a month now, and to say I'm chuffed is an understatement. I've almost finished the video, and the buzz from being able to follow your tutor through the blues tune, note for note is fantastic. The best money I've spent in years. Have been reading your testimonials and felt I had to get my oar in. The TJJ Horn BLOWS!! Thanks again, Mark McCann

Just a short note of thanks. The sax is excellent and everything I need. The tone is much better that the old one I had and I can get down to bottom B flat with control and softness I could never do that on the old one.

Thanks for all your help Best Regards Phil
