Saxophone Lessons Chicago County, IL

Instruments: Saxophone

I have been teaching lessons on Sax and Electronic music for over 10 years combined. I love sharing my knowledge and experiences over the years. I have been very fortunate to work with some amazing musicians in my life. I toured with a 14 piece funk band through a good portion of the '90s and I know what it takes to have a successful journey on the road. I love when the "ah ha" moment that happens when I'm teaching.

I gained an interest in teaching saxophone when I started taking private lessons 15 years ago from a local musician/music educator. I further developed this interest when studying under both of my private college instructors. Over the years I have taken different lessons and pieces of knowledge from all of the musicians, instructors, conductors and composers I have worked and collaborated with to form my own style of teaching that is a blend of all those I learned from yet uniquely my own.
