Saxophone Lessons in Lake Monroe, FL

Saxophone lessons with me are unique because I had a very prestigious saxophone lessons teacher when I was in high school, and he taught in some bizarre and amazing ways. Sometimes lessons would be 8-10 hours long, involving singing, switching to flute or piano, and sometimes just blowing air through the instrument intentionally without sound. I think these lessons are what allowed me to become first saxophone in marching band and the Boston College Wind Ensemble, as well as win a competition as lead in a saxophone quartet. Other achievements included making the district band 3 years in a row in Massachusetts CDMMEA, and winning a gold medal in jazz ensemble 3 years in a row as lead tenor saxophone. My diversity plays a role in my success as well, as I have played bari, tenor, alto, and soprano, each for multiple years. I have played saxophone for 14 years and so far have only taught college age intermediate level students but would like to start teaching saxophone more permanently ...

My varied background in saxophone makes my lessons unique. I've been taught different styles in different states by different people. I mixed them all up to give the best of all of them.

I studied Saxophone in college and have taught it over the last 10 years in private lessons.

Private one-on-one saxophone instruction has been my primary vocation for nearly 30 years. I've also worked as a professional performing musician for over 35 years. Each lesson is tailored to the tastes and needs of the student, with traditional method books rarely used once the basics are under control. Instruction is based on a strong working knowledge of scales. The informed use of these scales leads to a heightened understanding of improvisation, ear training, and other practical aspects of music theory. Students are encouraged to choose from a variety of jazz standards and transcriptions, classical themes, and pop tunes that I’ve transcribed and engraved. Rudimentary instruction is also available for saxophonists wishing to learn flute and/or clarinet.
