My teaching philosophy for saxophone students is centered around the belief that every student has the ability to grow and improve as a musician. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to provide a positive and supportive learning environment that fosters each student's individual growth and development. To do this, I believe in setting clear goals and expectations for my students and providing regular feedback and support to help them reach their full potential.

​

In addition to helping students develop technical proficiency on their instrument, I also place a strong emphasis on helping them develop their musicality and expression. This includes teaching them how to listen critically, how to interpret and communicate musical ideas, and how to connect with their audience through performance. I believe that these skills are essential for any musician and are what ultimately give music its power to inspire and move people.
