    About Joe D.

    (3)
    Hi, there! My name is Joe and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2009 and have loved helping my students earn spots in honor bands, earn college scholarships, and further pursue their love of music. I went to the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and earned a Master's degree in Jazz Studies in 2014. I'm a warm and friendly person and my teaching style is relaxed and organized. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

    Joe is one of the finest musicians I've had the pleasure of knowing and is highly skilled in the arts of saxophone performance, jazz improvisation, composition/arranging, studio production, and woodwind repair. He is also very capable of leading a large ensemble.
