My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school, when I began teaching beginning students of all instruments 10 years ago. I have been consistently teaching students in their homes, my home, and online for the past 5 years. Ive found that introducing students to as many different styles of music as possible goes a long way in helping students enjoy playing their instrument and listening to recordings of their instrument.

I've held a variety of teaching positions since then that have enriched my abilities and experience as a teacher both privately and in the classroom.

During my study in Shanghai, I started teaching middle school wind ensembles as well as saxophone and clarinet lessons. Starting 2012, I also have been teaching jazz combos and saxophone ensembles for Shanghai International Saxophone and Jazz Summer Camp.

I am Alicia C., an avant-garde musician who is passionate about reshaping the boundaries of modern saxophone, composition, and production in the 21st century. Currently, I call Los Angeles my home, but my musical journey has taken me across the globe, performing at various festivals in Europe, including Italy, Spain, France, Germany, England, and more. One of the highlights of my career was touring with "The Life and Music of George Michael" in America and Canada, gracing prestigious venues like the House of Blues in Houston, Texas, and the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, California, to name just a few.

However, there is a style that is much more ancient and at the same time current and happening in approach. The music of Australia, Africa, the Americas, South East Asia, and in some cases the folk music of Europe all rely on a tradition of improvisation and general forms that are passed down through the generations and influenced by the environment; so there is no specific composer. I seek to begin a canon of music that is inherent in this particular approach of providing form to the appropriately trained performers; this form is based off of scientific and natural phenomenon that we experience in the regions of the world where circular breathing has been developed: very unique ones at that.

For beginning students, my primary resource is generally the purple Primer level Faber book, however I often use principles of teaching from Simply Music and Piano Safari that allow beginning students to get right into playing some very interesting songs without having to read them. I think reading is important, don't get me wrong. However, I think that the ability to be versatile on the sounds of the piano without the abstraction of music notes can be very helpful for fostering a love for music early on. Read More
