Saxophone Lessons in Scottsdale, AZ

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I began teaching private lessons during my summers off from college, just a few students at a time.  Since beginning my teaching career, my focus has shifted slightly to group piano classes, while still teaching privately after school.  I have been a student of private instruction since the age of three, and my experiences in my private lessons have shaped the way I structure my own lessons for students.  I firmly believe that my students need to not only study solo repertoire, but also that they spend some time every week focusing on technical exercises to solidify their musical foundation.

Simply put, my goal is to make sure that a quality music education is accessible to all students, regardless of their background, demographic, or socioeconomic status. Without a doubt, music is one of the most rigorous subjects you could study, but it is also one of the most rewarding and enriching experiences a student will ever encounter in their lifetime. My role as a music educator is to guide students to better themselves - both as musicians and as people - in order to allow music to enrich their lives. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I have been teaching the saxophone since 2008, to both kids and adults, beginners and advanced players. I always like to incorporate music theory and aural skills into my lessons as I believe those subjects are a must in becoming a well-rounded musician. I do not usually follow a book/method page-to-page but rather adjust the curriculum to each and every student. Each on of my students has different goals and aspiration and it would not be fair to them to force them to follow one book/curriculum. Read More
