I am a professional musician passionate about sharing the joy of music with others. I specialize in beginner to intermediate students of all ages. I teach students how to practice and why to practice in order to help them fall in love with the saxophone! Typical lessons involve scales, sight reading, and a piece that the student chooses. If you like having fun and learning about different kinds of music send me a message!

Elia is great! My 14 year-old son has been taking clarinet lessons with Elia for a year and she has helped him fall in love with music. Elia is enthusiastic and kind and always finds ways to make sure my son is engaged and enjoying lessons. I cannot recommend Elia highly enough!

Elia is awesome. My daughter is really growing musically, and she is enjoying every minute. Elia is everything you would want in a teacher. Encouraging, and patient. Outstanding!
