Private Virtual Lessons · Nationwide Studio

Stop fighting your horn.
Start loving your sound.

Band directors do wonders with fifty kids in a room, but they can't spend forty-five minutes diagnosing your embouchure or tongue position. With a degree in Music Education and a background directing school bands—now working professionally in technology and teaching saxophone selectively on the side—my private studio gives you the dedicated one-on-one attention you need to break through plateaus.

The Studio Philosophy

What Actually Makes a Great Saxophone Lesson?

Most students don't need more hours of frustration. They need an experienced ear to pinpoint the exact physical habit or setup flaw that's holding them back.

Sound & Mechanics First

Tone doesn't start in your fingers. I examine embouchure bite, throat voicing, air support, and whether a leaking octave key is fighting you. When the instrument works freely, the sound blossoms.

Smart Practice Habits

“Practice every day you choose to eat.” But more importantly: practice smart. I isolate problem measures with metronome strategies so thirty focused minutes beats two hours of noodling.

Confidence & Musicality

Whether you are preparing for first chair in All-Region, mastering solo contest repertoire, or returning to the horn for the pure joy of playing after years away, I help you build playing that sounds effortless.
