Private Lessons
Since 2008, I have been actively teaching private saxophone lessons to students of all ages with a focus on sound development, technique, music theory, and improvisation. Each student's lesson plan is custom-built to match the student's needs and abilities. The lessons will always have something new and fun for the student while maintaining a challenging, disciplined routine to keep the student moving forward.
I am currently offering in-home lessons in the Greater Boston area of Massachusetts as well as video lessons via FaceTime or Skype. Contact me for rates and availability as well as any questions you may have.
Happy playing!
