Saxophone with Michael W.

I am a professional saxophonist/woodwind doubler based out of Baton Rouge, LA. I relocated from Des Moines, IA after obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance with a Concentration in Jazz Studies. I recently completed my studies at Louisiana State University, where I will be receiving my Master's Degree in Music in May of 2019. Currently I am actively involved in both the Classical and Jazz programs at LSU, where I participate in a variety of chamber and large ensembles, representing LSU in competitions and masterclasses throughout the Gulf South region. As a working musician and teacher, I teach regularly at area K-12 schools, providing lessons in saxophone, clarinet, and flute. I am also involved in multiple wedding and popular music groups that play primarily in south Louisiana. I meet the needs of each student to the best of my ability, but adhere to specific set of fundamentals that apply to all instruments in any style of music. My goal is for you to be the best musician that you can be, and that means consistent practice and a desire to learn. It is my job to give you the tools to reach that goal, and inspire you to move forward with a dedication to the craft.
