Practice with me
I teach saxophone lessons at my home studio in Asheville, NC and over the internet via Zoom.
These lessons are for you if you are:
Ready to jump right into on-going, meaningful lessons with a teaching artist.
Curious about how to grow as a musician both through active questions during lessons and personal reflection.
Motivated to practice in between lessons and get excited by the progress you make.
Interested in developing the skills and confidence to begin playing with others, perhaps even getting involved with your local music scene.
-
▪︎ Tone Production (embouchure, air speed, long tones, etc.)- We chose saxophone lessons because we enjoy the sounds the instrument can make. Practicing this one aspect of playing alone will improve the whole experience!

▪︎ Scale Studies- singing and playing
▪︎ Groove!
▪︎ Creating a relationship with Diatonic Harmony
▪︎ Improvising and Playing over Drones for harmonic context
