Teaching Method
Thank you for visiting my teaching website! Please feel free to contact me by phone or email with any questions at all.
I approach each saxophone student individually, working with strengths and addressing weaknesses in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Individual musical interests (such as jazz, pop, classical, or rock genres) are incorporated into each lesson, helping to streamline and facilitate the learning process.
Beginning students learn to make music from the first lesson starting with simple songs, and eventually with me joining in playing duets at each lesson.
Lessons focus on:
• Tone production • Finger technique •
• Music notation • Rhythm •
• Sight reading • Playing by ear •
• Phrasing and interpretation • Improvisation •
