Saxophone Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Guitar, Saxophone

My approach is different for each student. A curriculum will be designed around the student's needs, skill level, music reading ability, musical interests, and age level. I am capable of teaching a student as much as they are willing to learn. We will not only learn a piece of music, but will dive into what makes the piece interesting to the student and the theory of music. Each student will have an active role in their musical education and as a result, students tend to be more motivated to learn and succeed. Read More

Encouraging a regular practice schedule is a key point especially for younger students in progressing and gaining a passion for the instrument.

If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I am not doing my job well. Read More

My introductory lesson is full of information to build a foundation on which further knowledge can stand. Read More
