With private students, I customize my teaching methods to how each student best learns. I have several methods to teach most music concepts and saxophone technique so that I can better connect with each student’s learning style.

For jazz students, I first have them identify a musician they enjoy listening to and begin exploring what makes that player unique. Read More
