I have different graduated professional music teacher available Saxophone

I've played the sax for 10 years and have some experience in music education. I know the instrument thoroughly and would love to share the fun of the sax with you.

Saxophonists who study with me learn to be chameleons in the music world: not only will they learn a strong set of fundamentals, equipment management, and practice techniques, but they will become proficient performers of all styles that are required of them. This often includes jazz/improvisation, something I am incredibly passionate about!

In our lessons students can expect to learn the ergonomics of playing comfortably and healthily as a foundation while starting out with reading music, basic music theory, and melodies. From there we learn how to embellish those melodies with other notes and start our way into harmony where we learn how and why music is structured the way that it is in real-world terms. This leads us into the history of how songs and pieces were written and we explore all of the possibilities of the instrument as we gradually get into more and more challenging pieces. Students then begin to write their own songs based on the concepts that they've learned. All of this happens at the students' own pace until they're comfortable enough to move on to the next challenge. Your musical journey is your own and will be done on your terms with a little friendly guidance.

My goal in making music is to strive for originality, while using the vast amount of theoretical and technical knowledge that I have acquired over the years to create an understanding of what is actually happening. I know what it takes to be successful in the music industry, and can lead the student into whatever field they may have interest in. I have been extensively trained in both the jazz and classical idioms, and my style of instruction shows the student how to start teaching him/ herself to improve in the long run.

My focus in teaching music is to make students aware of how their instrument should be used as well as supplement them with what is needed in order to become a proficient musician overall. I have the ability to play many different instruments and encourage my students to understand the piano in order to illustrate points. I have the ability to transcribe and notate music on hearing it and can teach a student to play any tune desired.
