Saxophone Lessons Arkansas

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet, Music

I'm a Junior at Lyon College in Arkansas currently double majoring in Computer Science and Music. I've formally studied music since I was in 7'th grade though I've loved it since I was little. My journey as a musician has gone many places, from premiering my own compositions in a small quartet to performing in an opera. I've always viewed music as a blessing in my life and I want to share it with as many students as I can. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet

I love working with students and helping them discover their love of music. I love working with students of all ages. My individual approach to teaching allows me to find, and help students with their individual needs. I will focus on technique while developing the artist within through lessons that are fun, and engaging. Lessons start with a warm-up that I have designed based on input from nationally renown soloists and teachers on Saxophone and Clarinet as well as my own experiences as a professional player and teacher, followed by etude work from one of the many books that I can recommend at the first lesson and wrapping up with the solo literature that we are studying at the time.

My methods of teaching change with each student. All individuals learn differently. I start by seeing where each individual is and how they react to the material. We first learn basics and move as fast as the individual can or wants to. I want all my students to play pieces by themselves and with others (not just the same instruments). Im always wanting my students to be a well rounded individual in music and in life. Read More

For my beginner students it varies for me when it comes to my delivery method I like to use colors and shapes to be reflective. I use the Bruce Pearson "Standard of Excellence Book 1. with this learning method it allows me to develop the student in a pace that works for them allowing the basic fundaments of music, Fingering, scales, & solo pieces with diagrams and pictures demonstrating the steps. for my Intermediate and Advance level I use the same book but Book 2 teaching similar as Book 1 but it also gives more styles of fingering and more detailed & intense lessons.

I feel that creating a freestyle/open studio environment with the ability to diversify their talents into different areas is true to what makes music what it is. In other terms, I will teach multiple instruments to a student within a lesson if they so choose to(with keeping progress in mind). I call this method "Teaching one to be an Artist through self-discovery". With my background in live performances and multi-instrumental skills, I can offer a unique and liberating experience for a student who truly wants to dive deep into what music has to offer as a whole.
