Saxophone Lessons in Huntingdon Valley, PA

All styles; soprano, alto, tenor, baritone

I teach saxophone primarily through the tried and true Rubank method. Students will learn how to properly care for the instrument, how to read music, music theory, instrument technique, practice techniques, ear training (how to play by ear), reed selection, and both classical and jazz repertoire. I also employ custom exercises specifically for saxophone to help my students progress the fastest.

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.

Not many teachers can say that they are an active teacher and performer; fewer of those can say that they maintain their own private studio at the end of their public school day. That being said, I think what really separates me as a teacher is not my many hours of teaching, but rather my dedication to my students. I teach outside of my public school job because I feel that music can be a powerful and underrepresented force in a student's public school education. I strive to help students realize musical concepts in ways that inform both their musicianship, and their concept of learning.

Hello!

I am a private music instructor specializing in woodwind instruments looking to take on clarinet, flute and saxophone students in the Orange County area!

My lessons consist of a well balanced coverage of exercises (scales, note patterns, etudes, duets, major repertoire, etc) geared towards building a solid foundation in playing technique. This allows each student to be accurate and expressive with a sense of ease in their playing! Students of the studio are also thrown into the world of music! They are strongly encouraged to attend concerts, listen to music regularly, and attend masterclasses. The goal is not just to learn an instrument, but to also develop a life-long love and appreciation for music!

I am very proud to say that my students soar through their band and orchestra programs in school and obtain a sound quality/sense of musicality way beyond their grade level! The majority of my students excel past their school music programs! They join youth/honor bands ...

I am a professional jazz musician in the greater Boston area, and an alumni of the Berklee Global Jazz Institute. My teachers included musical legends such as Danilo Perez, Terri Lyne Carrington, and Joe Lovano to name a few. Having studied one on one with them for 3 years, if you aren't able to get a lesson with them, I'm the next best thing! ☺️

Whether you are a beginner, or an advanced student, I guarantee every lesson to educate and inspire you.

***THINGS

I primarily play jazz saxophone and have done some classical saxophone, Alto and Tenor. I can give those learning the instrument the edge and motivation they need to fall in love with music and perform well in whichever aspects of it they wish.
