Music Lessons in Woodbridge, NJ

Instruments: Saxophone

Every lesson starts with listening. Whether it be to yourself, someone you want to sound like, or your favorite band, the best way to focus your efforts while learning is to know who you want to sound like and what kind of music you want to make. From there, everything else falls into place. There's no use spending long hours practicing techniques and exercises and scale patterns if it's not serving the purpose of helping you achieve your goals and if it's not helping you have fun playing music.

My teaching style prioritizes mindset and artistry above all, but my approach is highly student-specific. I pride myself on allowing students to discover and pursue their musical interests while still maintaining a base level of knowledge and skill appropriate to the student's age and experience. In the case of young students who may not be familiar enough with musical material to select pieces, I typically assign listening homework to complete outside of the lesson. Read More

My teaching style is aimed at helping my students express themselves through music, and enjoy playing their instruments.

I also help them learn pieces and styles that they love. Through working on all of these aspects of being a musician, and encouraging them to take performance opportunities, I help my students to really find their own voice on their instrument. Read More
