Practice With Me

Saxophone Lessons

I offer saxophone lessons online and in person for students who want a thoughtful, practical approach to improving as musicians. If you’re in Wilmington, NC, you can also study with me in person at my home studio. Saxophone lessons with me can help you:

  • Develop a stronger, more consistent sound with greater ease.
  • Build technique that supports the music you want to play.
  • Improve improvisation, ear training, and musical vocabulary.
  • Understand harmony and theory through direct, practical musical experience.
  • Build practice processes that lead to meaningful progress.

Ways to Work Together

Private Saxophone Lessons

Recurring one-on-one lessons shaped around your playing, musical goals, and the work you’re doing between sessions.

Monthly Mentorship

One 60-minute lesson followed by a personalized month-long practice plan, with supporting videos, charts, and explanations as needed, plus text & email communication along the way.

Group Classes

Workshops and recurring classes for school programs, studios, and ensembles, designed with directors and section leaders around topics like improvisation, musicianship, saxophone technique, and ensemble skills.

What We Can Work On

Lessons can draw from a wide range of technical, musical, and creative topics depending on your goals. I generally approach these ideas through sound and musical experience first, using theory and technique to describe, support, and expand what you can already hear and feel.

Sound & Technique

  • Tone production
  • Breathing
  • Embouchure and air support
  • Scale studies
  • Classical saxophone literature

Improvisation & Musicianship

  • Improvisation
  • Groove
  • Ear training
  • Transcription
  • Developing personal vocabulary

Harmony, Theory & Repertoire

  • Learning and memorizing songs and chord progressions
  • Diatonic harmony
  • Playing over drones for harmonic context
  • Music theory through sound first
  • Writing solo etudes over jazz standards
