Saxophone Lessons Macomb County, MI

Instruments: Saxophone, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching privately since my undergraduate studies. Private teaching became not only a way for me to test myself, but transfer what I have learned to passionate young musicians. Not only have I taught through my own private studio, but I have helped build private lesson programs at schools in Michigan. I love sharing and discussing music with students; by teaching I have the opportunity to get kids interested in music and saxophone in ways they never thought possible. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Clarinet, Music

My methods are adaptable based on the student's previous or current instruction with private teachers or their school teachers. For all students I love to play along and model concepts for them. I involve a lot of kinesthetic movement based lessons along with visual and aural aids. I get to know the type of learner my student is and then plan my instruction to fit their learning style. I am a fan of etudes and short technical exercises as well as long tones for intermediate to advanced students. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone

For beginning piano students, I like to teach out of the Faber and Faber books. I like to go through three method books and then move into more advanced solo repertoire. For saxophone I use custom and tailor made assignments and methods focusing on sound primarily, followed by technique so the student can understand the fundamentals of how their body works with their instrument. For both saxophone and piano students I encourage a high degree of self direction as I believe that gives students the ability to seek and find what kind of things they enjoy and want to get better at.
