Saxophone Lessons Midwest

Instruments: Saxophone

Every student is different. My experience has prepared me for that. I am encouraging, but also patient. My instruction will be tailored to each individual student's needs, interests, and desires so that they can progress on their own musical journey at their own pace. Most importantly, I want to encourage my students to take their talents out of the practice room and into the world whenever they can. Whether it's taking a solo to a contest, joining a community band, or performing for their parents in their living room, my students will be encouraged to have a lifelong love of music. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

Each lesson plan will be tailored to fit the student’s needs. Personally, I think one of the most important parts of teaching music is to give students a complete grasp of performing music by combining theory into their lesson plan to make a well-rounded musician. Their lesson plan will depend on their playing level: I will make sure they have fundamentals down for beginner students, but also adding solo repertoire and etudes to teach virtuosity and good performance practice for the advanced students.

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Clarinet

I am a passionate instructor with high energy who loves working with beginning to advanced students. In 2011, I graduated from Indiana University Fort Wayne with a Bachelor of Music Education. Although education and teaching was my focus, I excelled in music performance as well. I have performed across the Midwest with the Premiere Wind Ensemble from my university and have had the privilege to perform professionally with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone

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.

My teaching experience goes back to when I taught piano lessons in high school. Since then I have continued to teach private lessons throughout college. I now teach music at Kansas City Public Schools. One of the key components to my teaching is helping my students find a way to enjoy making music. I like to provide fun supplemental activities as well as their regular lesson books. I also enjoy finding my students as many performance opportunities as possible so they can show off their hard work! Read More
