Saxophone Lessons in Marseilles, IL

While my degrees are in clarinet, I am also an accomplished saxophonist who has performed in ensembles throughout Colorado and Western Massachusetts, including jazz ensembles, musicals, and a professional saxophone quartet with performances at a regional North American Saxophone Alliance (NASA) Conference. I have experience ranging from helping students just learning their instrument all the way to students looking at All State or college auditions. My goal is to tailor lessons to meet each student's individual needs and interests, while still reinforcing good technique. Lessons will usually consist of doing a mix of different things such as: long tones, scales, etudes to improve technique and musicality, solos, duets, and Disney or jazz/pop tunes.

Want to improve on your saxophone chops? Want to move up to a higher chair in band? Practicing for college auditions?
I'll take any motivated student who wants to be the best, that no one ever was.
I have studied saxophone with Dr. Douglas Masek and former Professor of Saxophone at San Jose State University, Dale Wolford.
