Stewart Armitage - Tenor Saxophone

Picture
My first exploits into music started at the age of 7 playing recorder at primary school.  I then moved on to the piano at the age of 9 and the saxophone from age 11.  After reaching grade 5 on piano I stopped lessons to concentrate on the sax and achieved grade 8 by the time I was 17. 

My first band experience was with the local music centre, South Downs Youth Concert Band who I played with until I left school.  I had a break from playing for about 7 years due to university and jobs that involved a lot of working away.After finding a job that didn't involve travelling I started playing again with a couple of local concert bands and dance bands and finally joined CMCB in 2003 after being invited along by my future wife. 

I now play tenor sax alongside Karen Armitage (alto sax)  and have 3 children aged 14yrs, 5yrs and 3yrs who keep us busy outside of band.
