For beginner saxophone students, I taught them basic saxohone skills for couple lessons, and I will choose either Rubank method or Jazz Phrasing by Greg Fishman according to students' interests. For beginner flute and clarinet students, I taught them long tones and scales in the beginning, and then I will use method book such as Rubank or Rose to help them enjoy to play these two instruments.

Scales are also a must for all ages - I stress the importance of tone with these exercises because it's not just about the fingers. Read More

For more advanced students, I believe scale work is very important to improving on your instrument. Read More
