Jefferson Yap is currently the tutor of the ACS(I) Saxophone section. A patient and meticulous educator, he has a particular emphasis on the instrumental and theoretical musical fundamentals. This was greatly beneficial to our section’s growth as musicians and facility with the saxophone. Jefferson is endowed with innate musical interpretation but does not forcibly impose it on our section. In contrast, we are prompted to independently rediscover and appreciate the composer’s artistic genius. One that has great regard for aural training, Jefferson has enhanced our section’s intonation and generated a distinctive sound we are proud of. Under his mentorship and guidance, a section mate passed his grade 8 saxophone exam in a mere 2 months. With Jefferson’s leadership of the ACS(I) saxophone section, ‘ the instrument disappears and music reveals itself’.

I studied under Jefferson during my army days in 2010. Although I was relatively new to saxophone playing, Jefferson did not hesitate to expose me to a wide range of saxophone music, from Dave Koz, to the Tomasi concerto. Without doubt, I spent some of the most joyful moments, and learnt a lot about the fundamentals of saxophone from Jefferson. In 2010, I managed to score a distinction for my Grade 8 Saxophone exam, all thanks to the patient guidance from my teacher. I’m currently a university student in Japan, and continuing saxophone lessons over here as well. Thanks a lot Jeff!

Jefferson simply did an excellent job at repairing my horn at a reasonable price. He knows the saxophone inside out and my horn basically felt as if it was brand new!
I highly recommend him to all players out there! Try to believe it.

What a great job done by Mr Jefferson! I had my alto saxophone sent to him for servicing while i was away on vacation. My alto sax was delivered on time as soon as i am back and i was really impressed by his amazing workmanship. His attention to details from adjusting my key tensions to fixing leakages is tremendous! Now my saxophone plays better than before. I highly recommend him to other saxophonists who need a reliable and friendly repairman. Thank you!

Jefferson is an efficient and a friendly saxophone repairman. He was able to handle the problems on the horn, and explained the root problems as well as the prevention from reoccurrence. I would highly recommend him to other saxophonist. Thank-you Jefferson.!
