I've been playing saxophone for 15 years, and I've picked up some cool tricks along the way! Saxophone lessons are custom tailored to the student's individual skill level.

Beginners learn basic technique and a foundation of good habits to build on!

Intermediate players challenge themselves with more difficult pieces, requiring use of more refined techniques.

Advanced players prepare and perform advanced pieces, and work on the most advanced techniques.

I will customize your lessons to suit your learning style. I will combine music theory with your goals to develop a lesson plan.

I have been playing saxophone since 4th grade and have been teaching music lessons since I graduated from High School in 2003. I plan each students lesson to help meet and exceed their personal goals and expectations. All students will work on proper fingering, intonation, reading and understanding music/rhythms, breathing, and posture as well as learning to play musically- not just mechanically. I am very laid back and positive and try to set reasonable yet challenging goals for my students to meet each week.

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!

I have 35 years of experience playing the saxophone. In high school I made the all-state jazz band. Since then, I have performed at a variety of venues and have worked in many studios.

As a beginner, you will learn the foundations of the saxophone which are vital to a good tone and control of the instrument. Intermediate and advanced students will continue to work on basics but will also focus on transcription, evenness through the registers, chord movements and substitutions, business matters, and more.
