Saxophone Lessons Nueces County, TX

My experience as a private instructor began as early as when I was a student in college studying music. I have always had a profound passion for teaching at the private level because it really gives me the opportunity to help an individual in a more focused and meticulous manner. I've always believed that music is much more than just reading notes off a book, but have understood that music has many different dimensions, including being able to feel what you're playing, your natural music inclination, your ability to listen meticulously to your sound and your pitch and so many others.

We like lessons to be fun and challenging. Sight reading abilities really help musicality and ability for spontaneity. Part of each lesson is spent on good posture, breathing and excellent practice methods. We slow down the difficult passages and get them played correctly. Attention to tone and a great armbiture are always kept in mind, as well as hand position and minimal movement as the songs and exercises are played. Read More

I meet with all my students and talk with them about what their goals are before we get started. Once I learn more about the student, I will personalize lesson plans that I believe will be the best fit for that individual student.

I use many different resources that I believe will lead to the best advancement in skill for the student based upon the student's abilities and learning style. Read More
