Saxophone Lessons Cuyahoga County, OH

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute

As stated previously, I just want my students to enjoy playing their instrument. I hope that they will improve and be the best that they can be. I do my best to make private lessons fun as well as productive. I utilize the blue Rubank books for students of all levels. No matter how developed a student may be there is always something of value in these books. Of course, I utilize other method books as well as working on specific works by composers depending on what kind of music the students likes. Read More

Instruments: Violin, Saxophone, Music

I have been teaching private instrumental music lessons for two years now. I have gone through a four year degree program in which I've had the opportunity to gain peer teaching experience as well as teaching within various school districts for individual, small, and large ensemble settings. I have also been teaching dance at my mom's studio for the past 6 years. I help instruction with dance moves and group coordination as well as helping guide the students' ears to the specific musical lines they are interpreting. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Organ, Piccolo

I use the Alfred Piano series for most of my piano students. Woodwind students will use either Rubank or Hal Leonard series of books. During the first lesson, I will clarify the student's goals and needs and choose a book accordingly. I also add finger warm-ups and breathing exercises. Students are encouraged to pick a song from their own choosing to learn as a "fun-song". I try to cover these three things in every lesson, however I am flexible to meet the goals of my students. My professional motto is that I will do "Whatever it takes" for my students to succeed.

As a music education major I spent a lot of time learning pedagogy, assessment, and evaluation. I've written dozens of lesson plans including those for students with special needs. Unfortunately my time as a teacher has been rather limited which is something I'm working on changing. I had one student who I was able to work with during my last year of college. We were able to make a lot of progress in not only guitar playing, but musicianship as well. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet

I concentrate on tone production and development of relaxed breath and embouchure control.  Finger dexterity follows as matter of course, but good tone production is the key to playing the clarinet and saxophone. Read More
