Saxophone Lessons Michigan

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet, Drums

I am a firm believer in showing rather than telling. I always have at least one type of saxophone with me during lessons if not more.

My goal is not to play along with the student during these lessons; rather it is simply there if I need to demonstrate a key concept to my student. Read More

For beginning students who are in a school music program, I start with whatever the preferred beginner's method that their band uses: usually Hal Leonard's Essential Elements.

I also utilize many listening and repeating techniques outside of reading. It is important to have the connection of ear to playing with music just as with a language. Read More

Let’s make music And memories together ! Teaching is my passion but MUISC IS MY LIFE! I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn.

My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.
