I believe that music education must be fun and accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. I love to share my years of experience with students and hope I can pass on my love for music to them. I am a saxophonist with 16 years of experience playing a wide variety of genres from jazz to pop to classical. As a gigging professional musician, I have many years of experience playing in live settings to all sizes of audiences. I place a strong emphasis on listening to music and developing your skills as an all-round musician. This includes ear-training, rhythm, instrumental technique, transcription, theory, composition, and much more!
