There are quite a few method books that I like to use with my students. To start, I like to have students use the Beginner Rubank Method Book (the blue book) and work through this to get the basics down.

I have taught several improvisation courses and directed jazz big bands at Florida State University and their music summer camps. I was a saxophone instructor for the Byron Center High School Marching Band. I have given private instruction to middle school students, high school students, and college students for the past six years. My main areas of focus that I teach is woodwind instruction, improvisation, big band playing, composing, arranging, and general skills needed to play music at a professional level. Read More
