I currently teach alto and tenor saxophone at the New School for Leadership and the Arts, but I have many years' experience teaching music to students of all ages. I teach to the abilities, passions, and ambitions of the student(s).

I play and teach alto, tenor and baritone saxophone. I focus on getting my students to play in tune. Tone production is the first step. If you have a good tone people will listen to you. I work with tuners continually. My students are able to sound good immediately and that is crucial in their development.

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've been playing saxophone for over 15 years and i like to teach beginners or intermidiate level students. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts in Music Business.

My name is Ashley, am a student at Fordham University- Lincoln Center, and I have been training on the saxophone for upwards of ten years! I have been giving lessons since 2015, and I am qualified to teach beginners to early-intermediate players. I have been trained privately through Shenandoah Conservatory, and have earned top chairs in my county, district, and state. I have also played in select honors bands, such as the Great American Marching Band in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I am also a skilled teacher, having served as a middle school teacher's assistant and summer camp music instructor. My prices are competitive, because I simply want to share the joy of music with you or your student!

My lessons are very personalized. When I identify the students level, I give each student custom original and written material. (Excersices/songs) I am very caring and patient with all different types of students.
