Experienced teacher of 6 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so that students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of saxophone skills. I specialize in classical performance and typically use Standard of Excellence or Accent on Achievement band method books.

With over 20 years as a professional saxophonist and 15 years teaching experience I know the demands of a performing musician professionally and academically. I teach students how to produce a good tone quality with characteristic vibrato. I can teach students to become good at reading music. Students who are interested in jazz or pop styles of music will be taught improvisation techniques and how to play by ear.

Learn to become a Professional performer in a number of styles including jazz, pop, soul, funk and classical. A confident and experienced teacher from beginner to advanced and to all ages. Lessons are tailored to each students goals and requirements and cover things like technique, improvisation, repertoire, theory, harmony and doubling.

I have developed a teaching method that is efficient and creative, and is backed by over thirty years of professional performing experience. In the past fifteen years, I have taught continuously at several music schools in Germany. In my classroom, I approach music lessons with uncompromising attention to the goals of my students, their abilities and style. While focused on rigorous study of instrumental technique and music theory,

I enjoy teaching saxophone to students of all ages and experience levels!

I believe in getting students playing music they love as soon as possible. I have 9 years of teaching experience, as well as a masters degree in music education from Northwestern University. In that time I have learned how to teach important technique and ear training through playing fun and engaging pieces of music in a variety of styles, from classical to jazz, funk, RnB, ska, and more. Music is a fun, practical subject, and it should be taught that way.

When students take lessons with me, they learn both how to play their instruments and how to have fun doing it! Music is food for the soul, and learning how to make it can and should be an uplifting experience.

For beginners, we will work out of a method book to establish basic foundational skills such as developing an embouchure, rudimentary saxophone technique, reading music, and more. From there, we can delve deeper into the worlds of classical saxophone, jazz saxophone, or any other style that we want.

Lesson can also be taught in Chinese or Japanese.
