Rochester, MI Saxophone Lessons

Saxophone was the first instrument, aside from Piano, that I started to play. I started in 4th grade with this instrument until my middle school teacher in 6th grade asked me to switch to French horn. I continued to perform on Saxophone in our school's Jazz ensemble in Middle School and High School. I no longer play the Saxophone but can still teach students how to play the instrument!

As a clarinetist, it made perfect sense to me to pick up the saxophone. It is a great instrument to play. I really enjoy it.

I teach beginning and intermediate levels of saxophone. I use the rubank books as well as a few other books for saxophone books.

As a professional performer and educator, I combine my experience in both fields to provide the most well rounded education for each of my students. I cater each lesson to the students' specific needs. Being a saxophone player first and foremost, I may be biased, but I think it is one of the most enjoyable instruments to learn and play!

Lessons for beginners on basics, etc. Helping through the early years.

Since I started playing at age 11, I have been fortunate enough to study with some prolific musicians including: UNT sax professor Brad Lelei, Grammy nominated saxophonist Myron Walden, and world renowned bass player Reggie Workman. I currently study saxophone at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in NYC. In my lessons we'll have fun while focusing on your goals. Through practice and the materials I provide, you will notice a dramatic increase in your musical abilities. See you soon!

I have played saxophone for 7 years, and have taught saxophone student's as a P.A.L.S. teacher at the Aspen Music Summer Festival. I enjoy teaching everything from beginning fundamentals to jazz and improvisation.

Saxophone lessons with me will be tailored to the individual needs of the student. We can go as slowly or as quickly as needed.

I focus on a healthy blend of technique, musicality, music theory, and ear training to foster a complete musical education. In general my lessons will focus on classical saxophone, jazz will be touched upon but not the focus.

Want to learn to improvise and play by ear over your favorite funk, rock, pop, hip-hop, or jazz songs? Want to provide a beginning saxophonist with a solid foundation or learn the techniques necessary to take intermediate playing to the professional level? If so, you're in the right place. Kellon actively performs in NYC, has experience teaching all ages, and holds a Master's in jazz saxophone performance from NYU.

Lessons are student oriented. Our main focus will be to make sure you can play what you want, the way you want to, and reach your personal musical desires.

Instruction available for all ages and skill levels from the beginning child, to the retiree who is returning their instrument to keep the mind sharp, to the student preparing for important auditions, and the young professional looking to maintain a competitive edge.
