Saxophone Lessons Bastrop County, TX

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Oboe

Since most of the students I teach are members of a band program, I make sure that most of my lessons are based on what is being learned at school. Planning an individual practice schedule is imperative for their success but at the same time make it enjoyable so the student will want to practice. Constant acknowledgement of their progress each lesson the student more eager to learn.

Instruments: Voice, Saxophone, Flute, Piccolo, Bassoon, Music

I believe that everything begins with fundamentals. That being said, it's most important to learn what the students goal is.

Perhaps it's an adult student that just wants to learn to play a particular piece for a special occasion. Lessons have to be tailored to to meet the individual students desires. For the students that really want to learn their instrument, I would begin with a methods book with an emphasis on scales and studies. Read More
