Saxophone Lessons in Dhs, VA

Having a great time learning the saxophone and learning about how to play it in any context!

I have over 5 years of experience playing the saxophone and play the soprano, alto and tenor. I have performed as a soloist, in an wind ensemble setting and with jazz ensembles. I hold a Licentiate (LTCL) Diploma (2009) and a Grade 8 Certificate on Flute (2008) from Trinity College London and apply the same learning principles and technique to the saxophone.

I focus on the fundamentals (tone, technique and timing) using my own personalized approach to methods such as long tones, scales/ arpeggios and technical studies. I also allow students to be creative and express themselves through the art of music.

I have studied both Classical and Jazz saxophone in Europe and here with some of the best teachers in the world. I completed my Bachelor’s in Performance from Berklee College of Music, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude. In addition, I have a Masters in Music from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University and over 9 years of experience teaching music. Since every student is different and has specific goals, my lessons are carefully prepared so that you can learn in a fast pace!

Whatever your level, we will dive into great studies of classic fundamentals, technique refinement, mature tone quality, and of course music that YOU love to play.

I also teach flute and piano too! However, for saxophone it was my major at UCF ini Orlando. I have a degree in Music from UCF. I was in the saxophone section in the Florida state University Marching Chiefs. Also, I teach classical, jazz and get students ready for all state all county, ect... I also like to challenge the students with harder music. I also teach proper mouthpiece embouchure as well as vibrato and special technics.
