    Learn from an NYU graduate who has studied with Chris Potter, Dave Liebman and Rich Perry

    I earned a Bachelor's degree in jazz studies from University of North Florida in 2017 and recently earned my jazz Master's degree from New York University. I have over 10 years of experience teaching, Sax, Piano, Flute, Clarinet, guitar and ukulele and I am comfortable teaching all skill levels and genres of music. I recently recorded my first album of original music and can help you navigate the world of composition. Each student has different needs and I cater every lesson to each individual student. I will help you learn how to practice efficiently and develop a solid foundation in the fundamental aspects of playing the saxophone and improvising. I am a large proponent of goal setting as a means of tracking your progress and I will be there to motivate you to get the most out of your musical endeavors. Clearly you are passionate about music and I will help you grow that passion and help you to reveal your true artistic self.

    About David S.

    (5)
    I graduated from the University of North Florida in 2017 and received my Bachelor's degree in jazz studies. Over the past 7 years I have earned the majority of my income teaching music lessons and I have experience teaching students of all ages and proficiency levels on Sax, Piano, Flute, Clarinet and Uke and beginner/intermediate Guitar. I recently moved to NYC and I am currently a student of the NYU jazz Master's program where I am also working as a graduate teaching instructor teaching piano lessons to undergraduate students. While at NYU I studied with some of the best saxophonists in the world including Chris Potter, Dave Liebman, and Rich Perry. I have taught at a few of the top rated music schools in the Northeast fl area in addition to having students in my personal studio whom I taught from online or from their home and I have over 10 years of teaching experience. I cater my lessons to the individual wants and needs of each student and strive to provide all of my students with the tools to practice effectively and achieve consistent results. It is my mission to help foster a deep passion for music and the process of practicing and ultimately, I aim to help every student achieve a level of proficiency where they are able to continue effectively practicing and growing for the rest of their lives.

    David is a phenomenonal teacher! He has a wealth of musical knowledge, and is consciousness, and patient. What I really love is how he tailors his lessons to fit the student's needs and aspirations. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested looking to take their music to the next level.

    David is a very diligent instructor. He really wants the best for you and knows how to cater that to what you’re looking for in the lesson, as well. He is very knowledgeable about the inner workings of music but is still very patient for those of us who are still trying to learn the basics. I would recommend David as a teacher to anyone!
