    I believe in private lessons and I’ve been teaching since 2004 and this is what I learned from my previous students. To learn effectively and efficiently, you have to practice and find your way to get better every practice session. I will teach you how to become an artist, saxophonist, musician, and be a great music teacher. Are you ready to get better at your instrument? Then, you are at the right place! Bio: Kenny has performed at such distinguished American venues as the Mansion at Strathmore, Johns Hopkins University’s Shriver Hall, the Peabody Institute’s Griswold Hall, Friedberg Hall, Goodwin Hall, as well as appearances abroad in Seoul Arts Center, Lotte Hall in South Korea, and Seoul Yamaha Artists Concert Hall. He performed across the country with orchestras and ensembles including the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra, the Symphony Song Orchestra, the Suwon Philharmonic Orchestra, and Seoul Peabody Alumni Orchestra. From 2004-2007, as a member of the Marine Corps Band in Quantico, Virginia, he performed more than 150 concerts per year; major performances include 2007 Super Bowl XLI, Cherry Blossom Parade in Washington D.C, Columbus Day Parade in New York City, and “Hail to the Chief” for the President George W. Bush. In addition, he is serving in the 229th Maryland Army National Guard Band as a principal saxophonist. In addition to his accomplishments as a concert artist, Kenny has established himself as one of the sought teachers in Virginia and Maryland. Recently became a faculty member at Northern Virginia Community College where he teaches applied saxophone and clarinet, and directs the NOVA Loudon Jazz Ensemble. Kenny is pursuing his Doctor of Musical Arts at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in the studio of renowned saxophonist, Gary Louie. His teachers have included Sgt. 1st Class Doug Earlenbaugh, Dr. Kenneth Fischer, Dr. Stephen Fischer, Dr. Joseph Wytko, and Dr. Connie Frigo. Kenny holds a Master's degree in Performance from the Peabody Institute; he earned his Bachelor's degree in Music Education from the University of Georgia.
