Saxophone Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Guitar, Saxophone, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I care about my students progress and their well being. Music is my life but it can also be very frustrating and difficult.

I've been teaching privately for 15 years and working with music stores and schools in their band programs/music classes for 8 years. I've worked with Brian Wilson at Summit Academy, Jeff Quamo's students at Mesa High and with Mary Price in her general music classroom at Summit Academy.
