Saxophone Lessons Michigan

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I believe all of these skills are important when someone is learning music to be well rounded and literate. That's not to say x22everythingx22 must be known. But I believe students should have an understanding of fundamentals of music and how it applies to their musical genres and aspirations. My hope is to always give my students the knowledge they need to be able to express themselves as they desire. Read More

I have been teaching privately since my undergraduate studies. Private teaching became not only a way for me to test myself, but transfer what I have learned to passionate young musicians. Not only have I taught through my own private studio, but I have helped build private lesson programs at schools in Michigan. I love sharing and discussing music with students; by teaching I have the opportunity to get kids interested in music and saxophone in ways they never thought possible. Read More

Each student learns differently and has trouble with differnt things, therefore I adapt the way I teach a student based on their needs, learning style and skill level.

I do tailor my music lessons for the individual student. There really is no making a general statement for a specific person. There are, however, some very fundamental aspects of learning music for all people which will definitely include practicing and mastering scales of all type, performing with others, and using the ears to truly listen to intervals and the emotions that are invoked by performing certain keys in specific styles.

I believe that there is no style of teaching that works universally for every student. While there are techniques and methods that all students need to learn, each student has different interests and learns in a myriad of ways. Therefore the pacing, mood, and content of the lesson will vary from student to student. I encourage students to practice regularly, reinforcing the notion that consistent practice is better than high sporadic practice--it's better to spend 15 minutes on the instrument every day rather than an hour on your instrument one day of the week.
