About Michael P.
I have been playing the alto saxophone going on 9 years now. I am currently a college student at RCC but I can definitely teach beginners and anyone who has just started an intermediate level of playing.
I taught high school and middle school students how to play and I have a huge variety of pieces in my folders from over the years. I have been taught by four instructors, including Craig Yancey (saxophone) and Douglas McKenna (trumpet).
I will work on your strengths personally and I'm very friendly and polite and you do not need prior experience in music.
I have been a section leader in concert bands and marching bands. I have been in multiple jazz ensembles, musical pit ensembles, and pep bands at games including Lake Elsinore Storm, the "Menifee Bowl", and high school basketball and football games. Played in a pit band for a performer at a talent show "Mr.Heritage" at Heritage High School. I also have had several solos in concert pieces.
