Welcome to online saxophone lessons! While studying with me we will focus on practice techniques to develop your speed, vibrato and intonation (one of the most important aspects of a good sound!) For students in grade school, lessons can help your skills in band class and in participation in solo and ensemble. It is a great chance to perform works before doing an important audition! In my private teaching I have also focused on playing group pieces with my own arrangements of pop music, like Usher and Rihanna! I find it really enjoyable and it allows my students to challenge themselves while working in a different format than they are used to. 

I learned classical saxophone at Peabody Conservatory in Maryland, where I have a bachelor's and master's degree. I performed in wind ensemble and quartets. Currently I play in the Capital Wind Symphony in D.C., where we perform concert pieces for wind ensemble. I also teach at the Levine School of Music, which is very exciting since I studied there as a teenager! Thanks for your interest and I look forward to working with you!

Hi there! I am a classically trained saxophonist with a Masters from Peabody Conservatory and over 16 years of teaching experience. I tailor my lessons based on your interests and skill level, finding pieces you enjoy which challenge you. I can also give you a strong sense of the fundamentals, focusing on intonation, finger technique, vibrato and tone. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Maureen is prepared and organized. She is engaging and makes my daughter feel relaxed and comfortable. Maureen is a great saxophone teacher.

Maureen is very easy to work with and she is very knowledgeable. Thank you Maureen !

My daughter loves the class with Miss Maureen.

Very Knowledgeable, and informative.  I got a wonderful perspective of the saxophonist life from one lesson, so ready to go!

She was very easy to talk to and gave positive feedback that was very helpful!

My daughter has only had 2 private online lessons so far and loves Maureen!  We’re looking forward to many more lessons in the future.

Maureen is awesome. She is an amazing player and teacher. She was able to coax our son to play even when he was not in the mood and he learned a lot from her.

Maureen is truly the best instructor that I have encountered. She gives her all into her lessons and truly wants to see her students succeed. She has coached my son for several months and has been very pleasant while providing great feedback. You will not be disappointed if you select her as your coach. She is a great find on this site.

Maureen is a very patient and practical instructor.  She knows her craft and she knows how to engage her students to get them to see the best in themselves.

My daughter has been playing for five years in school band. Today she had her thrird lessons with Maureen. She is very knowledgeable, and great at communicating with my daughter in a way that is encouraging. So far, we love the lessons.

Our daughter is very pleased with he new saxophone teacher!!

In this video we will practice the second lesson in the Rubank book together while learning more about creating a good sound with the embouchure (which means face muscles.)

Second Lesson Of The Rubank Etude Book

In this two part lecture we will discuss some typical squeaks that occur for beginning students and how to fix them. Then we will cover how to properly articulate notes using the tongue. This should greatly improve the sound of your etudes!

 Conquer Squeaks And Learn How To Articulate

In this video we learn to play our first etude page of the Rubank Elementary Book. We will learn the core group of notes, counting for 4 beats per note and breathing.
