All are welcome the main goal of the lessons will be to give you a general and in-depth understanding of how to play the saxophone with a good tone and the transitions as we progress through the lessons the subject matter so get more in depth such as better keys to play for same note or specific ways to change the embouchure to get a specific sound.

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.

I was the lead saxophonist for all the jazz bands at Wake Forest University. I also play piano and clarinet and have a solid understanding of music theory (especially jazz theory) in general. I can work with people of all ages and am accustomed to working special needs children.

Hello! I am a Atlanta-based professional saxophonist and have been teaching for 8 years. Lessons with beginners focus on establishing solid fundamentals with air support, embouchure, and saxophone technique. For more seasoned players, I emphasize advanced techniques, developing a personal sound, and exploring the saxophone repertoire. All students also develop their core musicianship skills such as sight reading, ear training, and basic theory and interpretation. I am an adaptive teacher and will always strive to incorporate interests of the student with the goals of my personal curriculum. My students have seen great success and have dominated festival band sections, won placements in competitions, and even entered college music programs! Ready to begin the fun? Send me a message!
