Whether its technique, learning how to read both musically and literally, my teaching methods are very self reflective and introspective to provide the understanding you're looking for. All in all my sessions are very people friendly and driven to meet your needs. This helps to learn on a deeper level so that you may appreciate, learn faster and enjoy a greater sense of awareness for the fun of the music making process. I have a very warm and easy going approach with an emphasis on FUN so that we can connect to what we love to do which is make music.

My lessons are very student driven and revolve around developing students innate music abilities to help them connect and experience success as well as enriching their lives with music. In my lessons students will develop music appreciation skills by listening to music, understanding basic music theory concepts, growing a knowledge of historical awareness in music all alongside learning the instrument of their chosen preference. The pace set for the sessions is rather relaxed and is highly dependent on the student but, students are guided throughout the sessions to eventually achieve their goals. My main teaching approach is: Let me use my skills and knowledge to help figure out what works best for you!

Bram, is a Fantastic Music Teacher, my Daughter Swati is taking Tenor Saxophone lessons with Bram since she was 10 and at 11 she has learn so much from him. She has learn Technics from Bram on the Tenor Saxophone where later it comes up in her music class at her Elementary School Music Orchestra. Swati is planning to be with Bram thru her Baritone Teaching and Soprano Saxophone Teachings, when my Daughter transforms over to the other two Saxophones. From a score from 1 to 10...I give Bram a 10+ without even blinking.

Bram is very patient and helped me to re-start playing the clarinet within only a couple of months. He addresses my weaknesses in playing nicely and with professionalism, is following my expectations about the lessons pointed out at the beginning and is inspiring and motivating me to play my instrument.

About Benjamin S.
Close
I teach beginner, intermediate, and advanced Clarinet students. I focus on forming a correct embouchure (mouth position), hand position, good technique, and great sound.
For my Middle School and High School students, I find preparing them to audition for Southern California Honors Band (and potentially All-State Band) to be very rewarding and a great goal. Even if they choose not to audition or don't get in, great strides are made in their playing.
About Benjamin
I am a saxophonist and clarinetist and have been teaching for over 12 years. I am currently the saxophone professor at California State University, Northridge, I also maintain a studio of private saxophone and clarinet students throughout Los Angeles County, and am the saxophone and clarinet instructor at HYPERIUMconservatory in Rolling Hills, Palos Verdes.
I specialize in everything from beginners in elementary or middle school through high school students, college audition preparation, and also teach undergraduate and graduate students.
I previously held teaching positions at the University of Southern California, Sinai Akiba Academy, and Young Musicians Foundation.

Lessons combine work on sound production, technical work, along with fun music (such as movie music) as well as repertoire and exercises to develop students musical skills. As a teacher I have worked with both 6 year-old and adult beginners, college music majors and graduate students, always tailoring how I teach for each student.
It is my goal that each student is able to play at least one simple tune by the end of the first lesson. Often, they can do much more!

About Rick
I’ve always loved teaching from a young age; finding new ways to break down complex ideas and techniques and making it fun and easy is something that gives me a lot of satisfaction. If you want to play your favorite songs on saxophone, I can save you years of frustration and slow progress.
At the bottom of this page, I have a YouTube video of 3 of my sax students' incredibly fast progress. None of them had ever played saxophone, You can do that too! It’s easy and fun. No boring scales, exercises and dumb tunes. Just a simple, easy way to becoming a great sounding sax player in 1/10th the time. This method has worked for over 1000 students and works 100% of the time if you commit to practice.
I guarantee if you commit to practicing 30 minutes 5 days a week for 4 months and you don't see the success in the video I will give you ALL

About Jason L.
Close
Fun, energetic learning! An environment that is patient, yet still pushes the student to their full potential at that time. Regardless of level, attention to the development of fundamentals is always priority. This is addressed through study from standard etude and scale practice books (Rose, Baermann, Uhl, Jean-Jean, Rubank, Hite). Repertoire can range from beginning pop tunes, to more advanced standard repertoire for the advanced students.
About Jason
*available to travel near my home location as well*
I have played Clarinet for 15 years, and taught for 2. Currently I am pursuing a Bachelors of Music in Performance at California State University-Long Beach. My previous instructors include Mr. Paul Bambach at the University of California-Santa Barbara, and Dr. David Lopez at Cerritos College. Currently I study with Dr. Michael Grego at CSULB.
Outside of Cal State Long Beach, I also am an active member of the Los Angeles Clarinet Choir.
Over the years of my own private instruction, I have been taught in manners which promote self analysis, the standard development of technique and control and keep the experience enjoyable and fun. This is a method I try to implement when teaching clarinet, or music theory to a student.

About Rachel M.
Close
The most important part of learning an instrument is having fun! Learning music is such a great creative outlet, so I like to gear lessons towards the interests of my students and what type of music they're interested in. If the student is unsure about what direction they're interested in, no problem! I have lots of ideas about where to explore - jazz, funk, pop, classical, etc. If the student is in school, we'll make sure they're band music is all in order, and then we'll go on to other music to keep it fresh and interesting!
About Rachel
I'm a trained multi-instrumentalist and received my bachelor's degree in music at University of Michigan's music school. All the instruments I play make me a better player and teacher- saxophone, guitar, singing, and clarinet. I've been playing music for 15 years and teaching for 8 years. Music is such a great creative outlet, so it's important for lessons to be not only focused on the craft and routine, but fun, engaging, and interesting! I like to gear lessons towards my student's interests, so we can learn songs that are fun for the student. If they're not sure what direction they're interested in, no problem! There's many cool musical directions we can go in- jazz, classical, pop, r&b, musical theater, etc. We'll work together to make our lessons the best learning environment for you!
