    About Steve S.

    Do you want to take lessons from Aretha Franklin, Al Jarreau, Brian McKnight, and the Temptation's saxophonist? I have my doctorate in music and would love to teach about music the ins and out of the saxophone and the music industry in general! I can also teach improvisation- The way I work my lessons is three-fold The first part is technique which includes scales/patterns The second part is the actual music that the student is working on either in school or that we're working on in lessons between us The last 10% of the lesson is listening. I feel that listening is just as important as playing. As you listen to players on your instrument you can always be inspired.
