Teaching

Saxophone/Improvisation/Clinician Services

Interested in learning saxophone, improvisation, or taking either of those to the next level? I have given over 650 private lessons between 48 students of all ages and ability levels in the states of Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Lessons are individually structured around student goals and musical interests, supplemented with material from me to push your technical, stylistic, and creative skills to the next level. My students have gone on to be nominated for Princeton School District Honor Band (Minnesota) and have majored in music (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Illinois State University) or performed in marching bands at the college level (University of Miami).

 

I absolutely love working with larger groups in an educational settings. My experiences in concert band, jazz band, marching band, and my indepdent pursuit of improvisation have helped many students in the Chicagoland and Greater Milwaukee schools. If you are looking to mix-up your rehearsal or enhance a certain aspect of your program, let me know how I can help you!
