Saxophone Lessons in Lindenhurst, IL

Instruments: Saxophone

I have extensive materials and exercises that can be used to get a firm grasp on the fundamentals that are needed to both play the saxophone and improvise freely. I love working with students on improving their sound, their range, and their fluidity on the saxophone.
