    About Marcus S.

    Get your start on saxophone, clarinet or music theory with an experienced player who has a contemporary outlook informed by the genres of the last 100 years. I have been playing now for 20 years and have performed with many Rock and R&B musicians of the 1970s and 80s. I've also studied or attended clinics with today's hottest players in jazz saxophone and have been informed by their perspectives. In between traveling gigs over the years I have taught to adolescents and adults.
