Paul grew up in Bournemouth, England where started to play the saxophone at age 10. When he was 18, Paul gained a place to study saxophone and composition at the prestigious Trinity Conservatoire of Music in London where he trained for 4 years from 2003-2007 and gained a first class honours Bachelor of Music degree.
Since then he has worked as a freelance musician, teacher and composer in London performing with top groups around the UK and Europe. Notable performance venues in London include Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, The Ritz, The Savoy, The Shard and Wembley Stadium.
Paul was awarded a grant from the Arts Council England to record an album of compositions with his quintet featuring some of the best players on the UK Jazz scene. He was then signed to the Jellymould Jazz Record Label and toured the UK. Reviews of the album can be found here. The album Into View by Paul Riley Quintet is available on Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon.
At the age of 42 I joined Online Sax Academy to finally fulfil a long-term ambition of learning to play the saxophone. I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made. Paul is a top guy, and a great teacher. I look forward to my lessons and find the online content a fantastic resource. Thanks Paul!

Online Sax Academy is for me, number one among the best saxophone sites I've ever seen, full of exceptional quality content to which you can have full access with a modest monthly subscription. But above all, I like his teaching style: very structured and well-engineered in which he guides the student gradually step by step.
