    About Matthew L.

    I am a professional saxophonist from South Africa, and have gained experience from around the world when it comes to my performing and teaching. I am a director of the South African Saxophone Society, and am a member of the North American Saxophone Alliance. I regularly perform at conferences in North America and abroad. I am an active solo, chamber and recording musician, and am an endorsed artist, representing Henri Selmer Paris and Key Leaves. My playing style is broadly classical, with influences of jazz that result in a crossover style of playing. The focus of my teaching is typically sonic production. The experience I have gleamed from some of the top saxophonists internationally add to what I have to offer to you as my student.
