Saxophone Lessons in Porter Ranch, CA

Instruments: Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet

With beginning students, I start with the fundamentals of the instrument, including embouchure and finger technique, as well as the ability to breathe properly, which is fundamental to playing any wind instrument.  I also introduce beginning students to basic musical concepts, such as reading music, and tailor the musical selection to their tastes or to whatever group they are playing in, most often a school band class.  For more advanced students, I observe what areas the student needs the most work in and tailor the lessons specifically to dealing with those areas, as well as catering to their individual musical tastes.

Instruments: Saxophone

My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school 7 years ago.Through community service I started teaching young children about music, jazz and the saxophone. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. Along with the saxophone I try to teach my students at least a basic understanding of the piano because it is the foundation of most if not all of music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

I have taught students of all ages and skill levels, ages 5 through adult for piano, and ages10 through adult for saxophone and clarinet, all skill levels. Many of my past students have gone on to perform in competetions and recitals and still have a great passion for playing their instrument and continue to practice and perform. Working with students of a diverse age range, I have learned much about how every student learns differently and at their own pace. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

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.

My teaching journey began during my college years, and for the past ten years, I've been sharing my musical expertise by offering private lessons. Over the last five years, I've consistently taught students in my home studio. One of the key principles I prioritize, especially with younger students, is instilling the importance of regular, consistent practice. I firmly believe that this practice routine not only facilitates progress but also ignites a passion for the instrument. Read More

I have taught music since I was in Highschool. It wasn't just lessons for middle schoolers or young children. I taught and ran my high school's Jazz Band when I was a Junior and Senior. Due to a lack of funding, it was not a regular class, so it was up to me to take the reigns. Since then, I have grown and taught many more private students, but also different schools and places.
