Saxophone Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Saxophone

My performance and teaching experience date back to when I was in the 6th grade when I joined band class in middle school.

When on the path to conquering music one must understand that small steps are not just the best way but pretty much the only way. Along with that fostering an understanding in learning about one self and what pros may the used in aiding the student to becoming and better musician.
